The Lions' Pride

Ha-wha? How relevant is Providence's program for those that follow hoops closer than I?

Wow...what a disappointment. I thought one of the main reasons he decommitted was better bball programs were starting to recruit him alot more. I could understand UConn or Texas but Providence? Great get for Providence but I'm baffled by this

Wha-wha-what?!?!? WTH Austin?

I live just south of Providence and PC is in a pretty dumpy area. There are worse areas around the city and the area right around campus isn't too bad, but it's sure a strange pick for a philly kid that had plenty of options.

Not sure how PC is doing it but last year they brought in 2 5 star players and 2 3 star players. Scout had their 2012 class ranked number 10 and rivals had it ranked number 8. Not sure what is in the water up there but there must be something.

Big East is still a good BBall conference regardless of football. They'll be fine with schools like providence, seton hall, st johns, villanova, marquette, and GTown because they haven't gotten involved with big time money making football. Them on top of Cincy, Temple, UConn (for now), and LVille (for now). Maybe their best teams aren't as good as the best B1G teams, but the conference as a whole is as deep as any other.

Edit: forgot to hit "Quote" on rmj's post.

Gotta be something going on here...just saw earlier that he was choosing between UCONN and Texas.
