FRIARS CLASS INKS TWO, UP TO SEVEN SIGNED

April 17, 2009


Providence has been busy recruiting under Keno Davis and this week PC Signs Two Recruits (Providence Journal) as Vincent Council of the Patterson (NC) School and JUCO forward Russ Permenter of Temple (TX) College have signed with the Friars in the spring period as the PC staff hopes that the latest additions will help the Friars return to America's newest favorite past time in the near future, the college basketball betting pools of March Madness!

Council and Permenter join Kadeem Batts, Johnnie Lacy, Duke Mondy, James Still and Kyle Wright (JUCO) as newcomers for the Friars next season.

Kevin McNamara of the Providence Journal also adds some Transfer Talk, speculating that the Friars could be in the mix to add a high-profile transfer. With Alex Kellogg leaving the program, PC still ahs a scholarship open and a couple transfer candidates could be Allen Chaney, a CT native, who is leaving Florida and Quintrell Thomas, who is moving on from Kansas.

Thomas could look to the Big East or A-10 schools, while Chaney indicated that he would consider PC, URI and Georgetown, among other schools.
