You can add Devin Vanterpool to the ever-growing list of fire transfer singings for Bryan Hodgson and the Providence Friars. Vanterpool became the fourth commit of the brand new Hodgson era in just five days (five commits if you want to include Ryan Mela announcing he's coming back for his Junior year). https://twitter.com/JoeTipton/status/2044193294402387983 Vanterpool adds …
Following Oswin's commitment to Creighton, it's been a minute since we saw a former Friar commit to a new team for next season out of the transfer portal. So, of course it makes sense that they came flooding in all at the same time. We knew that Stefan Vaaks was going to most likely be …
There's been so much going on in Friartown that I had to combine it all into a single post in order to not keep posting for days on end. That's not even mentioning that the Men's Lacrosse team literally just won on an overtime goal while I was in the middle of writing this. 1. …

The first domino to fall, following the hiring of Bryan Hodgson, is Rich Barron's announcement that he will be entering the transfer portal. Goodblum was his usual excellent reporting chimed in noting Barron's points per game this past season...you know, in a season he didn't actually play in. https://twitter.com/GoodmanHoops/status/2036957352000094496 Barron still has two years of …
The introduction of Bryan Hodgson felt more like a reset than a press conference on Tuesday afternoon. Inside Alumni Hall on the Providence College campus, Bryan Hodgson was introduced as the 17th men’s basketball coach in front of a crowd that pushed well past 1,000. Hodgson immediately remarking once grabbing the mic that there were …

Following the official firing of Coach Kim English after three years that couldn't have been more middling, Stefan Vaaks is the second domino to fall, with the Estonian Assassin being the first Providence Friar to step into the Transfer Portal. I am positive that he will not be the last to do so and there …

As per usual, some of my pre-season picks were a little off but I'm not taking any flack for not putting Bryce Hopkins on one of the pre-season teams as I believe that Dillon Mitchell was much more important for the Johnnies this year than B-Hop was. It should be no surprise that my first team is …

Providence Friars 77 (8-6) St. John's Red Storm 71 (9-5) The Providence Friars left Madison Square Garden with their biggest win in at least two seasons, erasing a soul-crushing first-half deficit to knock off St. John’s on their own floor. The Friars showed actual fight, and—brace yourself—the coaching staff made real, tangible second-half adjustments (see, …
