Borzello Catches up with Lindsey: PC Pushing Hardest

Providence has been in heavy pursuit of superstar 2014 small forward Jalen Lindsey for a year, and apparently they’ve made an impression. CBS Sports’ Jeff Borzello caught up with Lindsey after a strong showing in the Pangos All American camp last weekend.

From the article:

Lindsey, a 6-foot-6 forward from Tennessee, is ranked No. 27 in the 247 Sports Composite for the class of 2014. He is transferring to Huntington Prep (W.Va.) next year for his final high school season.

On the college front, Louisville, Ohio State, Florida, Tennessee, LSU and others are all in hot pursuit. Interestingly, it’s a team from outside his primary geographical region that is showing the most interest: Providence.

“Coach [Ed] Cooley is a great coach,” Lindsey said. “He’s a great person off the floor, and I really respect him as a person.”

Lindsey has taken a trip to the Friars’ campus and said proximity to home won’t be a factor in his decision.

“Academics is a big thing,” Lindsey said. “My dream is to go to the NBA, so I look for a coach who can get me to that level.”
