ESPN’s Jeff Goodman reported on Twitter that Louisville transfer Anton Gill will visit Providence on April 17th. The 6’3 guard played two seasons under Rick Pitino as a Cardinal but his play was inconsistent. Gill indicated he is “looking for a fresh start” in a statement released by the school. The southpaw will have two years of eligibility remaining after he sits a year, per NCAA transfer rules.
Louisville transfer Anton Gill told ESPN will visit Providence on 17th, then likely Nebraska early May. Also heard from G'Town, UAB, ECU.

Gill averaged 2.5 points/game in 9.4 minutes/game in his sophomore season at Lousville. The North Carolina native shot just 35.3% (30/85) from the field and 25.6% (11/43) from beyond the arc. Gill had a nice stretch during Louisville’s Sweet 16 win over NC State where he scored 7 points on 3/3 from the field in 11 minutes but was largely inconsistent with 15 regular season games this season where he played but didn’t score. Gill was a prolific scorer in high school at Hargrave Military Academy, averaging 28.2 points/game.
Gill and Fordham transfer Eric Paschall now make two transfers that Providence will receive visits from but neither will be eligible until the 2016-17 season after sitting a year, per NCAA transfer rules. Providence will continue to monitor Kris Dunn’s situation and that could be the biggest factor in the Friar coaching staff trying to lure a 5th year transfer to Providence to bridge a gap for the 2015-16 season should Dunn opt to forego his eligibility and enter the 2015 NBA Draft.
