Providence Jamfest Tips Off on Saturday

The annual Providence Jamfest takes place this Saturday and Sunday at Rhode Island College and other locations throughout Rhode Island. Annually the Providence Jamfest brings some of the area’s top high school talent to the Ocean State.

Alumni of previous Jamfests include Kris Dunn, Tyler Harris, Paschal Chukwu, Andre Drummond, Kuran Iverson, Michael Carter-Williams, and Ricky Ledo.

This year’s Jamfest features two of New England’s premier 17u AAU teams, the Mass Rivals and the New England Playaz. Both teams are loaded with potential PC recruits.
