Why Subscribe to Friar Basketball on Substack?

Since launching on Substack in July 2021, we’ve delivered nearly 1,000 original pieces covering Providence College basketball and the Big East—always prioritizing in-depth analysis and exclusive storytelling over content aggregation.

We’ve published feature interviews with key figures like Athletic Director Steve Napolillo (shortly after Ed Cooley’s departure) and held in-depth podcast conversations with Napolillo and head coach Kim English.

Our partnership with The Friar Podcast has produced exclusive content with Friar greats like Bryce Cotton, Ryan Gomes, God Shammgod, and multi-episode series on the 2004 and 2014 Friars, offering behind-the-scenes insight from the players and coaches who lived it. We also exclusivley interview current and future members of the team.

Everything we create is driven by a deep love for the program and a commitment to coverage that truly serves Friartown’s most passionate fans—whether that’s through breaking down hours of game tape, traveling to scout recruits, or producing highlight reels and podcast episodes that celebrate the past and future of Providence basketball.
