With all the talk about Providence losing recruits (Drew Fielder, Kayvaun Mulready) and players entering the transfer portal (Jared Bynum, Jayden Pierre), I thought it was a good idea to remind Friartown of the guys that are choosing the road less traveled, believing in what new Coach Kim English is putting together, and continuing to …
