Greg Gantt is a 6’7 forward out of Fayetteville, NC ranked 53rd in the country by 247Sports — and he’s going to be a Friar.
Ed Cooley and assistant coach Jeff Battle began recruiting Gantt a year ago, long before a rush of big name schools, including Texas, Florida, and Louisville, came calling in recent months.
Gantt was set to visit Providence officially in September, and was also slated for trips to Florida and Texas, but he pulled the trigger early, making Cooley a very happy man.
Providence may have pushed harder for Gantt this summer than any other player in the class of 2019, as the Friar staff continues to excel on the recruiting trail.
