— Coming off a fifth straight NCAA Tournament appearance, Ed Cooley welcomes in a star-studded recruiting class. Yes, life is good in Providence. Now, the question will be who will make up the rotation. It’s deep with options, and the backcourt will be the key area to keep an eye on. Returnees Makai Ashton-Langford and Maliek White are joined by four-star freshmen David Duke and A.J. Reeves. Cooley has a good problem to have, and one would think that he’ll go with the two players who can set the tone defensively in a game as starters. But, down the stretch in games, it will be intriguing to see who has the ball in their hands. Cooley has been raving about the Duke/Reeves duo for a long time now, and the two have played together in AAU. More excitement is on the way at Providence.
