Providence Recruiting Update: Holiday Tournaments Galore
Recruiting never stops, even during the course of the college basketball season. That was especially true between Providence’s game on December 10th against UMass and now. Ed Cooley and his staff hit the road shortly after that win over UMass last Saturday and they’ve used the extra time during the final exam break to go see some of their top recruits in action. Cooley was spotted at DeMatha Catholic on Saturday and Sunday where he took in the action and specifically watched 2017 commit Nate Watson and 2018 target Hameir Wright. Watson is already in the fold and is having a very good senior season at Bishop O’Connell.
Wright was a target initially when he was part of the class of 2017. He has since said he plans to do a postgraduate year at Brewster Academy and become part of the class of 2018. Other notable names that Providence coaches watched during this past week include new 2018 names Jason Wade, a big guard running with Maliek White’s former grassroots program River City Reign, Tre Wood, a lead guard with increasing Providence interest, and Jake Forrester, a versatile 6’8 forward who got a Providence offer this week. In the class of 2019, Providence saw Armando Bacot, Wade’s teammate at Trinity Episcopal who is a top-40 ranked big man in 2019. The Friars also dropped in to watch 2020 Isaiah Todd along with Kansas, North Carolina and Virginia. Kansas has already offered the 6’10 15 year old from Richmond.
The holiday tournament action continues this weekend with St. Andrew’s Holiday Classic taking place at the Barrington school from Friday through Sunday. Admission is $5 for adults and the full schedule is available below. Here are some of the Providence recruits who will play at St. Andrew’s this weekend:
- 2018 David Duke – Cushing Academy – Offer
- 2018 AJ Reeves – Brimmer and May – Offer
- 2018 Cole Swider – St. Andrew’s – Offer
- 2019 Preston Santos – Brooks School – Interest
