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 …
Seemingly all at once, the Friars lost two previous commits, Drew Fielder of the 2023, class and Kayvaun Mulready of the 2024 class, and had their Freshman point guard enter into the transfer portal.

Flip...Flip...Flipadelphia. Over the course of about an hour, two former Providence Friar commits announced their intentions to follow Coach Cooley to Georgetown, essentially flipping from a Friar to a Hoya.

Coach Kim English is making his presence felt immediately since becoming the new Providence Friars basketball coach. It hasn't even been a week and he's been across the country recruiting players, offering prospective players in both the 2024 and 2025 classes, meeting with the current Friar players, and everything between.

Here are some of the previous season College All-Hate Squads. I haven't been able to put a team together for every season but I think I want to give Jim Boeheim a Lifetime Achievement Award (even though he was the Coach of the 2015-2016 Team) for being such a blow hard over such a long …

The Big East came out with their end of the season All-Big East first and second teams today and Byrce Hopkins was named as one of the 6 members of the first team.

Providence Friars 75 (15-5) DePaul Blue Demons 64 (9-11) When Noah Locke was struggling to make threes on a consistent basis, I said at the time that there was going to be 1 or 2 games that Noah Locke's shooting was going to win it for the Friars. Even when I made that statement, I …
