Mitchell Holmes, the 2024 big from Texas, is deciding on the college of his choice this upcoming Friday. Providence is one of five schools in the mix alongside SMU, Rice, Auburn, and TCU. Holmes did take an official visit to Providence a few weeks back.
Providence has a massive need in the frontcourt for the 2024 season and beyond, which is why I’m shocked more recruits aren’t knocking down the door to come play for Kim English. Josh Oduro will be out of eligibility after this season, and the only true frontcourt players on the roster beyond this year are Rafael Castro and Eli DeLaurier. A 2024 big man recruit can step on campus and know he’ll be getting immediate playing time. It’s a nice selling point for Kim English, but it also makes me incredibly nervous heading into next season. I predict that English will land one college transfer big and one high school big in 2024.
Providence is in the mix with other 2024 big men, notably Luke Bamgboye and recently Amdy Ndiaye. It may be a “first come, first serve” with these 2024 bigs, but I honestly wouldn’t be opposed to bringing in two big men in the 2024 class on top of a college transfer. The cupboard needs to be restocked.
Below, we analyze the game of Holmes and discuss how he’d fit within the Friar program.
