The success of the 2012 class is something Cooley is starting to replicate.
“We want to recruit the best players in the country,” Cooley told SNY.tv (http://zagsblog.com/providence/providences-cooley-we-want-to-recruit-the-best-players-in-the-country/). “Everybody always says a lot of negative things about the brand of Providence. Whether that’s in the past or whatever, I don’t look at that. I want the best players in the country to to play in the best league in the country.”
The soundbite Cooley provided early this week isn’t something to laugh off. Cooley showed he can recruit with the best by landing Dunn and Ledo one year ago. Joining the new Big East didn’t stop him from recently landing top-50 small forward (http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/07/16/jalen-lindseys-commitment-to-providence-a-sign-of-good-things-to-come/) Jalen Lindsey, either. If Cooley has his way, that will be the first piece in a heralded incoming class.
