Providence grabbed Isaiah Jackson in the summer of 2015 after George Mason made a coaching change. The Florida native will be eligible this season after sitting a year.
The Providence Friars have had success bringing in transfers in Ed Cooley’s time in Friartown. The two most notable were Wake Forest transfer Carson Desrosiers and NC State transfer Tyler Harris. Both Desrosiers and Harris came to Providence from the ACC and helped the Friars win the 2014 Big East Tournament title and make back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances for the first time in 25 years. Another transfer who has played a solid role on good Providence teams is Junior Lomomba.
