SMOTRYCZ, DESROSIERS VISIT PROVIDENCE

August 27, 2008


While the NBE Basketball Report was Catching Up with Carson Desrosiers it was learned that the 6-foot-10 class of 2010 big man took an unofficial visit to Providence College on Tuesday with Mass Rivals AAU teammate Evan Smotrycz.

“I was impressed with the campus and liked the philosophy of the coaching staff and the direction they want the program to move,” Desrosiers said of Providence. “(We) took a tour with Coach (Pat) Skerry and sat down and talked to Coach Skerry and Coach Keno Davis.”

Along with the Friars, Desrosiers told the NBE Basketball Report that Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Purdue and Penn State were also coming after him pretty hard. Later this week, Desrosiers plans to take an unofficial visit to Syracuse as well. Jim Boehiem, just back from China with a Gold Medal, will be hosting the Syracuse Elite Camp this weekend.
