Providence Friars: No. 9 Big East, No. 85 Nation

Alyn Breed – 6’5 / 165 SG

Coming out of IMG by way of McEachern High School, Georgia born Alyn Breed is going to bring a shot of excitement to Providence Basketball. The three-star shooting guard who is ranked in the top 50 at his position is going to have time to grow and develop with Coach Ed Cooley. Breed is a guard that simply gets to the basket, and when called upon will finish with an acrobatic shot in the key. Two aspects that will be more difficult in the Big East.

When he was not throwing alley-oops to Kenyon Mart Jr at IMG, Breed was playing defense with the intention to steal the ball and run it down for an easy two. His defensive awareness would be on display for those steals, but when it came to locking down an opposing guard in the half-court offense, at times it seemed like an area he will need to work on in the Big East.

Jyare Davis – 6’6 / 205 SF

Prior to committing to Providence on Jan. 5, 2020, the three-star Delaware native earned Player of the Game honors twice with Sanford School. After committing, he added another six to make it eight in the 21 games he played. Davis averaged 16.2 points in his senior season off the strength of being able to hit an open three. Davis was very good in high school for a long time,  before he extended his shooting range he could put the ball on the floor and get tot he basket.

Defensively he would play up top, despite many 6’6 players play down low in high school. Guards had to be aware too with Davis up top, for if the pass was not solid, Davis is taking it for an easy dunk on the other end.  Coach Cooley will be able to utilize Davis as his skill set will transcend nicely.
