When Kim English took over at Providence last spring he made the decision to go with a younger, high-upside duo at point guard by retaining Jayden Pierre (then a freshman) and pairing him with a top 40 prospect in Garwey Dual. While Pierre made strides in his second year with the program, it became apparent that the Friars could have benefitted from another experienced hand running the offense.
Great job Coach English and staff. Pitino really wanted this kid!
