Providence lost an assistant coach, and the Friars have now also lost four-star prospect Naadir Tharpe.
According to his high school coach Jason Smith of Wolfeboro (N.H.) Brewster Academy, Tharpe has decommitted from Providence now that his lead recruiter Pat Skerry has taken an assistant position at Pittsburgh.
A 5-foot-11, 170-pound point guard, Tharpe is the No. 92 ranked prospect in the Rivals150.
