Providence Friars Reloaded for Big East

Providence College is firing on all cylinders after a major roster overhaul, bringing in a star-studded cast led by transfer phenoms and NBA-level talent. With just one returning starter, the Friars are rebuilding under new coach Bryan Hodgson, who led South Florida to the NCAA Tournament last year. Key additions include Dink Pate — a G-League standout who played in the NBA Rising Stars Challenge — Miles Byrd (elite defender), Devin Vanterpool (AAC’s most improved), and a bevy of shooters and big men like Ryan Sabol (single-season 3-point record holder), Samson Aletan, and Arrinten Page. But questions remain: Will Pate be eligible? Can point guard Malik Mack stay consistent? Can the new big men dominate the paint? Still, with a loaded wing group and a fresh coaching approach, Providence is primed to make waves in the Big East and return to tournament contention.
