Seems like the only teams in college basketball that can play competitively against UCONN and actually give them a game are other BE teams. Am I lying?
#truth
My nephew is playing out of his mind today!! I’m damn near in tears over here y’all!! This is what he is capable of!!!!!!!!!!! Just be patient Friar nation. The future is bright for him and the rest of the youngsters!!
On a personal note, I am so happy that this guy in the photo below is returning to Providence next season. Words cannot express how much our family loves this kid and we truly believe coach English is going to bring the best out him personally and as a player! Let’s go, Friars!
The AMP was absolutely electric today!! Friar nation, I freaking love ALL of y’all and I will be supporting the Friars long after CFJ graduates from PC. The love y’all show me, my nephew, and family is unbelievable and we appreciate u all! Best fan base in college bball 2.
Although, my nephew only went 1 -2 today, I think this was one of the best all around games he’s played this season. He made “winning plays” all game long for his team and I couldn’t be prouder of him. Yes he’s struggling with his J but he’s still contributing to the overall W.
Since nobody said it yet I’m going to state the obvious. I think Friar nation as a whole should really appreciate the guys who decided to stay at PC and not hit the portal. In this day and age, LOYALTY is NOT a premium anymore. It’s the wild, wild, west now y’all. Salute to them!
Game day!! Headed up to Storrs now from NJ with the family and u know I’m rocking the CFLO official family jersey and repping the Friars!! Let’s go fellas!
If I was a recruit considering PC right now and have been watching the BE tournament since yesterday, I seriously would want to come to PC 4 college. Young coach, young talent, and a ton of opportunity to play right away in a great environment for a great school. Just saying!🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Gotta shout out Dan Hurley for taking the time to take this pic with my grand niece and nephew (Tate’s grandkids) at the UCONN game today. This simple act of kindness meant the world to them too. Appreciate u coach! Jersey boys always look out for one another! Respect!
If u still have any doubts about that masked man named Kim English and his connection with these young athletes, something is seriously WRONG WITH YOU! Stevie Wonder can see that this is match made in heaven between him and Providence!!! This dude is damn near batting a 1000! 🙌🏾
I got a feeling, the weekend just got a lot better for everyone in Friar town!! 😂😂 I will be drinking martinis tonight to celebrate the beginning of the Kim English era at Providence. Who’s with me??
So the good guys do actually win the lottery sometimes!! This is a TREMENDOUS pick up for Friar nation. Although, he’s young, he has “some intangibles” that u just can’t teach. He’s a bull dog on defense too. Damn, my day just got 100% better. I see u coach English!! U a dawg 2!
Good yr 1 under KE 4 sure. I personally want to say, I have really enjoyed this season despite all of the injuries we experienced and I truly appreciate all the love Friar town has shown me and my family too. Looking forward to next season 4 real! Go Friars!!
Wishing my favorite nephew on the planet a very happy 20th birthday today too! I truly love this kid like he was my very own son and I will always be there for him for whatever he needs. Family over everything! We love u CJ!
Ed Cooley woke up this morning thinking, “damn, there r real repercussions 4 my actions and ALL money ain’t GOOD money!” His current G’town squad might not win 10 games this year and the students at G’town are already calling for his resignation. Sucks to be u right now bro! 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Is it just me or does anyone else in Friar town entire day/night seem to go better when the Friars win? I swear I’m a different person when we win and a monster when we lose. Pray for me y’all. Seriously.
Congrats to KE, his staff, and the entire Friar nation on Jamier Jones committing today! This is HUGE for the program and I predict more top tier recruits r on the way over the next few years. KE simply has “that thing” that all of these kids want to play for. I am Not surprised!
💥Jamier Jones (Top 20 recruit 2025) has committed to
@PCFriarsmbb
. He chose Friartown over Kansas, Houston, Ohio State, LSU and South Carolina.
The future is bright for Kim English and his staff.
Okay now I’m in heaven. What are the chances that two of my former players are both on a visit at Providence the same weekend? I didn’t know. Big Tee Bartlett and Lino Mark would be a great “get” for Friar town y’all. I’m so proud of the players they both have developed into. 🙏🏽
How “human” Kim English to openly embrace JP even after seeing he is putting his name in the portal. Im glad to see that there are no hard feelings between the two and I love that coach English is very publicly soliciting JP to stay at Providence. Thanks for sharing Coach!
Friar Nation! Y’all gonna get me fired from my damn job! I can’t even concentrate at work anymore because I can’t put my damn phone down. 😂 Please know that our entire family truly appreciates the love and acceptance that u have given us and our guy, CFJ! Go Friars!
I can’t let this day go without shouting out
@Englishscope24
for coming in and retaining the nucleus of last year’s roster, which is NOT an easy task all things considered. You, my brother, are officially a “ROCKSTAR” in Friar town and WE all got your back brother! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Friar nation, I’m in the building today. Let meet up at half time in the hall way at section 232 -233/123 -124 across from Sal’s Pizza. This is what I have on so u can find me! Let’s goooooo!!!!
Wishing my beautiful wife, Tela, a very happy birthday today. I couldn’t have asked God for a better wife and life partner, mother of my children, and a best friend. Please help me wishing her a very happy birthday guys! Enjoy babe.
I’m just gonna go ahead and say what a lot of people are thinking. Ed Cooley leaving Friar town and Kim English being hired by Nap might prove to be the single greatest move the program has made in years. Everything about KE is progressive and I love it! I love his passion too!👀
We got a chance to fellowship with my guy
@nap16
at the game tonight for a few minutes. PC is so lucky to have this guy running their AD dept!! Just a class act. Glad we got the dub tonight too Friar nation. See u all on Saturday too!
Quick update. Just talked to my guy, Lino Mark, and he is planning a visit to Friar town soon. Good job KE and staff!! Love ur aggression!!! Crossing my fingers on this one 4 real. Oh, and Lino said he can feel the love he is receiving from Friar nation too. Keep it up, y’all. 🙏🏽
Friar Nation. B 4 we pass judgment on Alyn Breed, let’s let the proper authorities assess the situation. I don’t know if the kid is guilty of this or not but I do know he’s a kid and also deserves his day in court b 4 we throw him away. Let’s ALL 🙏🏽 for this young man y’all!
Despite the loss tonight, I am extremely proud of our guys. I think we just ran out of gas after playing three straight nights at the garden. We played the majority of this season with 7 - 8 guys and fought like dogs every game. Hoping we make the dance on Sunday too! Go Friars!
The Friars had that “eye of the tiger” look in their all from the opening tip and only committed 5 turnovers all game. That’s impressive and I don’t think we missed a free throw tonight either. That’s what locked in looks like. I couldn’t be happier for these kids y’all. 4 real!
After losing one of the best players in the BE, it astounds me that so many people are kicking us while we are obviously down. Shameful. Please be mindful that these r kids no matter who your favorite team is. Whether we win or lose, know that I’m riding with the Friars 4 sure.
What’s the point of having a lot of at Quad 1 wins if it really doesn’t matter to the committee come selection Sunday? Just stack the non league schedule with bums and pummel them to death until league play starts. I’m still tripping that they only took 3 BE teams y’all. Insane
Everyone with sense knows that if Hop doesn’t go down, PC probably wins 13 - 14 games in the BE. To get 11 wins in total in that gauntlet of a league, is very impressive y’all. Speaks to KE’s ability as a coach to keep his guys inspired and keep playing hard. Really proud of PC!
This was a team win tonight!! Everybody, and I mean everybody contributed to this win! Proud of our guys effort tonight!! On to next!!! Let’s goooooooo, Friars!!!
That’s my guy 4 life no matter who doubts him. Can’t wait to get in the lab with u this summer too. Put ur head down and put that work in nephew as the best interest come 4 u. I still believe baby boy!! Year 3 on deck. Let’s gooooo!!!!
Whether the new recruits that were “committed” to Providence come or not, let me be clear. I have 💯 % confidence in Coach English to bring the “right” pieces in for next season and beyond. Just let him put his stamp on the program guys!!! Let’s go!!!!!!!
I’ll just what everyone in Friar town is thinking. Stay home Jayden Pierre and Rafael Castro! This thing about to be really special fellas and u really might want to think about staying home. Don’t go b4 the good starts to get GREAT! We ALL want you both here 2. Think about it 🙏🏽
I truly love “the man” that Kim English is. We can disagree about “X’a and O”
as a fanbase but this man’s character is impeccable and unimpeachable. PC got a good one with this brother! Respect coach! Watch the clip 2 y’all.
Kim English tells us he's the godfather to Josh Oduro's first born son, Gabriel.
"My proudest moment as a coach."
"I was really choked up last night... my greatest moment as a coach."
"I love his son already."

@josh_oduro
Thank u ED COOLEY for all u have done at PC sir and thank u for taking the G’town job too. Otherwise, we would NOT have this YOUNG BULL as our new HC. He is EXACTLY what this program needs y’all. Watch! I feel sorry for the rest of the BE teams that don’t have him as their HC. 🙏🏽
Your favorite Unc turned 54 today!! I’m thanking God for allowing me to see another year on this earth too. Every day above ground is a beautiful thing!
I just talked to my guy, Donovan Santoro and his dad, Seth, a few minutes ago and they are excited to “ officially” be apart of Friar nation!! Thanks coach English for believing in another one of “my guys”. Friar nation, you guys are going to love Donovan Santoro too! Let’s go!!!
After today, I truly hope Jayden Pierre stays home!!! I cannot imagine a better coach for JP, my nephew, CFJ, DC, B Hop, and the rest of the current Friar players. Kim English brings a new level of EXCITEMENT to town that I haven’t seen in years watching college bball. Let’s go!
I am also ecstatic that A. Breed is returning too as I think he is going to thrive under coach English too. Breed was shitted on last season by Cooley and I believe he is about to have a monster season once he is allowed to play “his game”. Breed is a dawg too! Watch and 👀
Might not have been a sexy WIN, but I’ll take it any way we can get it!! And for anyone whoever questioned if my nephew can handle the rock, you just got your answer. I turnover in damn near 30 plus mins of running the team in JP and Dual’s absence! Next man up! Good win Friars!
That killa from Cali will also be in the building tonight on an unofficial visit. Friar town, make sure u guys show my guy, Lino Mark, some love at the game. I’ve been bragging about y’all to him all season so show him that Friar love you’ve shown me over the last two years!
Beautiful day when u wake up and hear that B Hop and Devin Carter will be returning to Friar town next season. I never doubted it in truth but I am sooo glad to read this this morning. We about to do something special next year guys!! Let’s go, coach English!!!!!!!! it’s on u now
Just made it back to NJ with the family. Thanks Friar nation for an absolute great Saturday today. Best day I’ve had in a few months too! See u guys up in Storrs next week for all who will be traveling there. It’s been over 30 plus years since I’ve been back up there.
We gonna be alright Friar nation!! We gonna be alright!!! Though we can NEVER replace BHOP, we will be alright. I TRUST in KIM ENGLISH and his STAFF to figure this thing out! Keep the faith y’all! Go Friars!!
Glad we got the dub y’all but we gotta learn how to close out games. Praying that KE puts in an actual press break at some point 2. We make too many bonehead mistakes at the end of games man. About to give me a damn heart attack over here. Go Friars!!
I don’t care if it’s DePaul or not, we really needed this win. Sometimes teams just need to get a win to reignite them and get their mojo back. Just thankful is all I am going to say! Go Friars!
Let this go Friar nation! It’s the BE and everyone takes a whooping sometimes in this league. We r not immune to a few ass whoopings this season either. The good news is, we beat them already this season so we’re even and they rough at home. Keep the faith y’all. On to the next.
Praying for BHOP, his family, and for the team. When a kid gets hurt, u realize that the actual game is secondary to that kid’s overall health. Woke up this morning with Bryce on my mind and wanted to put good vibes in the air 4 him. We r with u young man! Go Friars!!!
Before I go to bed, I’m just gonna go ahead and claim it. We getting a damn bid on Sunday and that’s that! We deserve it and the committee is going to see it and reward us accordingly! Period! Good night y’all!
Anybody that doesn’t think Josh Oduro isn’t playing at a first team All BE level is smoking something right now. Josh is a grown ass man right now with kids. Kudos to Josh Oduro man! 4 real!!
Appreciate all the support from Friar and UCONN nation that I have personally received for CFJ’s breakout game today. At the end of the day, they’re just kids y’all and it’s good to see them doing well no matter who u rock out with. Nephew been struggling so was great to see. 🙏🏽
Looking forward to going to the Villanova game on Sunday. It will be the last game we see before heading back to LA. That would be 4 games in 10 days. I can’t think of a better way to spend our vacation than seeing our nephew and the Friars play for a stretch of games. ❤️❤️
Hopefully, by Wednesday’s press conference with coach English, he will be able to put ALL the rumors to bed and be able to announce who’s staying and who’s going. The speculation is just too much to handle right now for all of us! Can I get an Amen?
Friar nation, we gotta give it up to Butler 4 a great game today! That assortment of guards they have might be the toughest to guard that I’ve seen thus far this season. Just bucket getters all over the floor. Impressive.
All things considered, this was a damn good season for PC to have lost Hop so early and still get 21 wins. I don’t believe in participation trophies but we should be very proud of what KE and his players accomplished with 7 and half guys. Real talk. The future is bright y’all.
Just a little reminder! We getting in tomorrow y’all. Too many intangibles going in our direction for me not to believe we getting a bid. I won’t even entertain the thought that we are not getting in. The resume is enough to substantiate getting in. We celebrate tomorrow! Faith🙏🏽
Say what u want about PC but u gotta respect that KE has his team playing hard as hell every single game no matter who is available to play. Even on bad nights, they compete on every play. As a coach, that’s hard to do. Kid’s simply vacillate from game to game man. PC is good 🙏🏽s
To think that Garway was playing JV basketball 2 years ago is absolutely insane!!! Imagine that y’all. Kid is an absolute stud who seemingly has come out of nowhere and will be a high draft pick in the near future. Gotta love this game man!! Glad he stayed in Friar town!
Was on the phone all day and night yesterday and this morning with my college coaches (friends) around the country who know coach English and ALL of them were very complementary about him. They ALL said he is a future star in the coaching world. I think WE just got a steal y’all!
Wishing our beautiful daughter, Skylar, a very happy 25th birthday today! We couldn’t be any prouder of her and all that she accomplishing right now in graduate school. Enjoy your day today baby!
Devin “freaking” Carter! Damn. Has to be one of the most improved players in all of college bball. 31pts, 13 rebounds 3 assists. Impressive! You notice whenever his pops is at the game, he goes off offensively? Love it!! Get pops to the rest of the games please. 😂
Me, nephew, and my guy, Chris got a quick pic after the game. I was quiet for most of the game because I had a splitting migraine headache that wouldn’t let up. Anyway, we at the 110 Grille next to the arena if anybody is still in the area. If not, see u in late January.
So proud of the way our boys played tonight. We basically lost that game at the foul line. I think we went 11 - 25 if I’m not mistaken and u gotta shoot better than that against the
#1
team in the nation on their home floor. I’m encouraged about when they come to the AMP.
Tough loss for us tonight. Praying that B HOP will be back soon too and that he doesn’t have any permanent damage. We will be alright Friar Nation. Keep the faith.
Me with Donovan Santoro and his dad, Seth, 2 years ago in Austin visiting my son who was living there. Last time I saw him in LA prior to this visit, he was was 6’4”. Kid might be 6’10 before he stops growing. He’s a “baby” Klay T with a better handle. Gotta get stronger tho. 🔥
Friar nation! Now would be a great time to let the remaining players at Providence know just how much u love them and want them ALL to stay home! Their hurting and confused right now and I believe letting them know just how much they mean to u all, could actually help them heal.
I’m coming to the AMP on Dec 10th to see the Friars play Brown University. I’m hoping to connect with as many of “my peeps” after the game as humanly possible. I’m thinking we could met up at sports bar or pub after the game. Thoughts!
I still want to 40 PIECE G’town every time we see them and Cooley deserves exactly what’s coming to him when he visits the AMP next season too. We just ALL truly need to move past him and truly EMBRACE the Kim English era. That man gone y’all so let’s let him stay gone. Go FRIARS
CFJ is about to have a break out season for PC! The hand cuffs are finally off and y’all are about to see a young dawg next year emerge right in front of your eyes. Give them ALL of your game next season too nephew! Can’t wait!! Go Friars!!!
Congratulations
@kingcarter2225
and the entire PC coaching staff for this much deserved honor. You have carried the program on your back all season and it’s good to see that they recognized your efforts! I couldn’t happier for u too bro!! This is big Friar town! Go Friars!!
Boom.
I have no clue where this Friar squad would be without Devin Carter. He is truly a special player and carried this team all season long.
Now, let’s go win a few games in The Big 🍎
Friar nation, always remember, we r running a marathon and NOT a sprint with the young boys on the squad that r currently playing mins (CFJ, Barron, JP, and Dual) Give them ALL time to develop their games under KE. The future is bright for all of these guys and 4 PC! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
After watching that press conference with coach Batth and English, I’m ready to start next season right now!! The atmosphere in the gym was electric and if today is any indication of what the future holds for both programs, we r in excellent hands Friar nation! Just amazing!🔥🔥
Watch out BE teams! B Hop and Devin Carter got that thang rolling right now! Good to have JP back in the line up again too. He brings that attacking style of play back into the line up that we were missing. JP puts a lot of pressure on defenses with his quickness. Let’s gooooooo!
Wishing our guy,
@kingcarter2225
the best tonight at the NBA draft. I think he will go in the lottery but wherever he goes, we are ALL very proud of you, DC! In fact, I’m wishing all of our BE kids well tonight that r in the draft. Should be a magical night for the BE!
Devin Carter is going to make a shit load of money in the NBA. He is vastly improved offensively but his defensive prowess is unmatched. He will be a lock down defender at the next level 2. Not sure if I have ever seen a more determined on ball defender at the college level.
How clearly can this man tell these kids that he wants them ALL to stay?? I’m about to get on a plane from LA and come to Providence and shake the hell out of all of them. Damn, I wish I could play for this guy 30 plus years ago.
Candid answer from Kim English when I asked about continuing to retain the talent on the PC roster:
"Were building our group around Devin (Carter), around Bryce (Hopkins), around Corey (Floyd)."
"I think those guys are going to have exceptional next seasons."
#pcbb
@wpri12
Hoping we can send our seniors off (Josh and Ticket) with a big win tonight against UCONN. I know the AMP is going to be absolutely electric too and I wish I could have made it there tonight. Oh well, go get the dub fellas. I will be watching tonight for sure. Go Friars!
Shout out to KE and staff for running some really good (new) sets tonight 2. Been wanting 2 see different sets all season and I have been critical of them 2. But tonight, they ran some good stuff. Good ball action, back door cuts, and misdirections. Loved it. Thank u staff. 🙏🏽
Remember I said this too. Kim English will develop more pros that will play good years in the NBA in 5 years than Ed Cooley did in 12 years. That will be a fact!!!! Just wait!
Congratulations to Seton Hall on winning the NIT championship! Both Seton Hall and Indiana State should have been in the dance 4 sure. Great game tonight too! Go Big East!
BE solidarity is a must this time of year!! Ok, we root for our favorite team but this time of the year mandates that we all become one team and root for all of the BE teams to get in the dance! Potentially only 3 teams in would be a travesty and disrespectful to the league. 🙏🏽
Friar nation, I would wait to hear this from either B Hop directly on his social media or from Providence college directly. Same would be true of all the returning players in my estimation. Not saying it’s NOT true but let’s wait to get the “official” word from inside the walls.
Clearly CFJ was hammered at the rim at the end of the game but they r never going to give him that call on the road with first year coach in the BE. Every former player of the BE said ain’t no way he getting that call today on the road in this league. Ain’t gonna happen. Truth
Ooh….Coach English got them boys getting ready for next season for real!!! Love it!! I wish I could watch one of these practices in person!! Let’s go, Friars!!!
