Averaged 18.9 points, 9.4 board's, and an impressive .870 FT%.  This 6-7 junior
small forward is contemplating entering the draft a little early. Gomes has led
the way for the Providence Friars, ranking first on the club in scoring, rebounds, and steals.

Just a junior, Gomes began the year recording a double-double against Hofstra
and added a season best 28 against powerhouse Texas.  The Waterbury, Conneticut

South Carolina on 12/3/01, he collected 15 points to go along with eight rebounds.

If Gomes decides to enter the draft, he projects to be a late 1st Round selection.
