EVAN SMOTRYCZ TALKS PC VISIT

August 29, 2008


While Catching Up With Carson Desrosiers and then Catching Up With Evan Sotrycz, the NBE Basketball Report talked to two of the latest players to pay a visit to Keno Davis and Providence College in recent days.

Smotrycz is a 6'9, 205 lb skilled forward who is transferring from Reading (MA) Memorial HS to the New Hampton (NH) School and will also reclassify to the class of 2010. The multi-skilled and versatile player enjoyed his time at PC this week.

“It was an unofficial visit (to Providence),” Smotrycz said. “I went up with Carson Desrosiers and Coach Skerry and Coach Davis gave us a great tour. I also had a chance to sit down and talk to head Coach Keno Davis.”

Overall, the visit to Providence rated quite high for Evan and he thinks the new regime has pumped new life into the program.

“I was very impressed by the overall look of the campus everything seemed brand new and well maintained,” Smotrycz continued. “I also really liked the look of The Dunkin Donuts Center’s new seats. They seam to have a great staff, and campus with all the tools to have an impact in the Big East.”

Currently, schools such as Georgia, Syracuse, Notre Dame, Virginia, Pittsburgh, Michigan and Oregon State have thrown their hat into the ring as interested parties in the recruitment of Smotrycz. He recently took the visit to Providence and will head to Michigan this coming weekend (8/29 – 8/31).
