Providence lands top center in major recruiting win over Kentucky
Providence College has landed the top center and one of the premier men's basketball prospects in the Class of 2027. Lewis Uvwo announced his commitment to the Friars in a webcast with CBS Sports on Wednesday, Oct. 28. He selected Providence ahead of fellow finalists Baylor , California and Kentucky. Watch NCAA basketball on FuboTV! Uvwo took an official visit with the Friars in late September and narrowed his list from offers that also included North Carolina, USC, Miami, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Arkansas, Texas, LSU, BYU and UCLA. He's a 6-foot-11-inch rim protector rated No. 7 overall in his class, according to 247 Sports. "I'm just really excited," Uvwo said. "We've been talking about this for a long time now. It means a lot to me." Uvwo is the first pledge for Providence head coach Bryan Hodgson who should debut in the 2027-28 season, and it was made after a lengthy pursuit. The Friars secured a visit on the weekend of Sept. 18 after wing Asa Montgomery canceled — he ultimately committed to Duke earlier Wednesday. Hodgson and multiple staff members traveled to Prolific Prep in Florida to visit Uvwo in early October and continued their work in recent weeks
