Providence just scored their second 2014 top 100 player tonight when 7'2 C Paschal Chukwu committed to Ed Cooley. Cooley is gettin it done. Big time recruiting by the Big East (9 ESPN top 100 recruits so far). Happy and jealous at the same time...

Wow. Chuckwu is a monster. Competition in the new Big East is going to be tough year-in year-out.

Wow, Pivovar with a recruiting article?

[CreighTony]

Wow is right. Piv usually blows off recruiting questions saying you can never know what a kid will do until he gets on the court for college games. He must be changing.
