Former West Roxbury standout and Globe Super Teamer Gerard Coleman has committed to Providence College, according to published reports. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound shooting guard -- who now plays for the Tilton School in New Hampshire -- offered his verbal commitment to Friars coach Keno Davis this past weekend.
“I was all set with Providence and didn’t want to risk losing my spot with them,” Coleman told the Providence Journal. “I like the way they play. There’s a lot of good times to come at Providence.”
Coleman, who was also considering Clemson and UConn, will be a senior at Tilton in the fall. He is the 63d-ranked prospect on ESPN's Top 100 for the class of 2010.
Coleman earned Globe Super Team honors two winters ago when, as a junior at West Roxbury, he averaged 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists per game. He departed for Tilton the following season.

Look for updates from:
- Bob Holmes: A Reading resident (Go Rockets!) and Boston College graduate, Holmes is the Boston Globe High School Sports Editor. We remind you now that his weekly picks are often made in jest so everyone just calm down when he picks against Everett for 11 straight weeks.
- Mike Carraggi: An Everett native (Go Tide!), Mike attends Eastern Nazarene college and is entering his second year with the Globe. He'll focus on Division 1 this fall, which means he'll spend a lot of time in his hometown, which Forsberg thinks is cool because the Tide have that Fried Dough cart.
- Emily Wright: A Hyannis native (Go Barnstable Red Raiders!), Emily is a senior at Emerson College and has been with the Globe since the end of July. She'll cover Division 1A and will be the first intern we've trusted to navigate her way to Dennis-Yarmouth or any other school on the Cape.
- Mike Grossi: A Lexington native (Go Minutemen!), Mike attends Northeastern and has been with the Globe for two months. He'll cover Division 2 and 2A and unsuccessfully lobbied to include Lexington in the preseason Top 20.
- Jonathan Raymond: A native of Benicia, Calif. (a suburb of San Francisco), Jonathan attends Northeastern and has been working at the Globe since the end of June. He will be focusing on Division 3 and is likely woefully underprepared for covering a game in a foot of snow.
- David Carty: A native of West Bridgewater (Go Wildcats!), David is a senior at Emerson College and has been working at the Globe for a year. He'll cover Divisions 3A and 4 because, "small school ball is in my blood."
- The bench: You'll also catch updates from our regional contributors, including Globe North's Julian Benbow and South's Monique Walker. Correspondent Brendan Hall will have updates from the Globe West coverage area and will often try to sneak in Central Mass. news.
