At The Providence Crier, we take pride in keeping the readers up to date on all things high school and portal recruiting. With the hiring of Bryan Hodgson, I was thinking about editing our last version of the 2027 Recruiting Primer that we put together while Kim English was at the helm, but who knows if any of those guys previously offered by PC will still have committable offers.
Thus, we are starting from scratch. If you want to take a look at the previous 2027 Recruiting Primer, feel free below. I’m certain there will be names offered by the prior staff that also get offers from Hodgson.
Mike and I will be updating this daily as news comes in with new offers, visits being set, etc.
Point Guard Offers
Antonio Pemberton – 6’1 PG from New Hampshire, 4 Star Top 50 Recruit – https://247sports.com/player/antonio-pemberton-46154479/
Pemberton is a recent offer. This has my stamp of approval, as I’ve been longing for PC to get back into the mix with the Mass Rivals AAU program. Pemberton is one of the top players in all of New England.
Micah Gordon – 6 foot Point Guard from New Jersey, 4 Star Top 50 Recruit – https://247sports.com/player/micah-gordon-46154705/
Gordon is one of the top players in the state of New Jersey regardless of class. The Plainfield product will be pursued by essentially every Big East program. He’s a talent.
Aaron Britt Jr.: 6 foot Point Guard from Florida, 4 Star Top 75 Recruit – https://247sports.com/player/aaron-britt-jr-46151000/
Britt Jr. was offered by Hodgson a day after Bryan’s introductory press conference at PC and will carry the title of officially the first 2027 offer in the Hodgson PC era.
The lead guard had already visited USF in August 2025 and is familiar with the Hodgson staff. He carries an Arkansas State offer too, so I need to do some digging on if Hodgson actually has been recruiting him since his days as the Arkansas State head man.
This could be one to monitor, but he also has offers from the in-state Seminoles and the Tennessee Volunteers.
Shooting Guard Offers
ONeal Delancy: 6’2 Combo Guard from Monteverde Academy – 4 Star, Top 50 recruit
This is Hodgson reiterating a previous offer. Delancy plays for the prestigious Monteverde Academy. He has previously visited USF, but Hodgson faces stiff competition in Houston, Florida State, Maryland, and Miami
PLAYERS I’D LIKE TO SEE OFFERED (REALISTIC CHANCE OF LANDING)
Patrick Otey – 6’4 Shooting Guard from New England, 4 Star Top 75 – https://247sports.com/player/patrick-otey-46142931/
Otey was offered by the prior regime, and I think Otey will garner interest from Hodgson. He has stereotypical size at the shooting guard/wing spot.
Theo Edema – 6’11 C from Massachusetts, 4 Star Top 50 Center – https://247sports.com/player/theo-edema-46159672/
Edema is one of my favorite recruits in the 2027 class, and I’d personally incentivize him to reclass to 2026 to bolster the Friar frontcourt. Edema, just like Oswin, can likely earn minutes even as a reclassed freshman.
Kamsi Awaka – 6’8 C from New Jersey, 4 Star Top 75 – https://247sports.com/player/kamsi-awaka-46151601/
Awaka would be a big body to add to the frontcourt, and I’m all for adding different body types there. The 6’11/7 footers are rare and worth their weight in gold, but having a bully at the 4/5 is useful too.
