The Friars lost 85-72 to the Red Storm. PC trailed by 20 points much of the game.

In the proverbial olden days — pre-portal and NIL money — things would look good for the future of the Friars. Two super-talented Friar freshmen would be returning — Stefan Vaaks and Jamier Jones, as well as solid sophomores Ryan Mela and Oswin Erhunmwunse. The Friars would be loaded.
 

Now, the unknown is the known.
 

Starting today, everyone is a free agent and with no coach. Everyone is being wooed by promises of greener financial opportunities. All four of these players will make more than $1 million a year next season, and Jones and Vaaks may be $2 million talents.

For Friar fans, the departure of English means the Friars face the most uncertain future.

English finishes with a record of 46-49 in three years and won less that 40% of his Big East games.

The list of potential replacements remains volatile — See Here.

English will leave Providence with few relationships. He lived in Boston. He complained about the media. He lost the students. And, GoLocal is told that the St. John’s brawl game was the final straw for the College's administration due to the lack of discipline.
