Providence lost a commit, several Big East players entered the transfer portal, and recruiting updates from the past week.
The transfer portal is buzzing, with plenty of action over the past week regarding players departing and several others arriving to the Big East.
Aside from that, there were some final decisions, a de-commitment, and, with the first live evaluation period of the offseason, a few late-Sunday night offers being sent out. Expect more new offers this week, but here’s a look back at all of the action over the last week on the recruiting trail.

Other notes:
- If you notice an error, have news of a new offer, please feel free to tip me off—or Big East Coast Bias—on Twitter: @becb_sbn and @erapay5. I’ll update accordingly.
- Shoutout to Anonymous Eagle, Casual Hoya, Banners on the Parkway, Rumble in the Garden, The UConn Blog, and VU Hoops. We unfortunately don’t have articles on all recruits, but we got some help in filling some blanks from our fellow Big East SB Nation sites. Some recruits have clickable names, which will take you to a relevant article regarding that player.
- I recommend viewing the spreadsheet externally, since you’ll be able to use things like filters (Google Sheets has that option on the top-left, next to the print button.) and Ctrl+F (Apple+F if you’re on Mac) to help make searching for recruits easier. You’ll also have a bigger screen/window to look at the spreadsheet: Big East Offer Tracker, last updated April 11, 2022. Alternatively, you may view below.
