I just got off the phone with Hillhouse coach Catrina Hawley-Stewart, herself a former Big East player at Providence, who said that the Academics' gifted junior guard/forward is planning to be at Gampel Pavilion for Friday's "First Night" festivities.

Holmes, who averaged 19 points, 7 rebounds, 5 steals and 4 assists as a sophomore, has led the Academics to the Class L title as a freshman and sophomore.

Bria will be joined by Hawley-Stewart and her mom during her visit.
