Providence Friars Reload Under Coach Kim English with Major Transfer Wins
Providence, R.I. — After a tough 2024-25 season that ended with a 12-20 record and a first-round Big East Tournament exit, Providence Friars head coach Kim English is wasting no time turning the page.
English has made headlines this offseason by landing a key commitment from a standout Vanderbilt transfer guard, signaling a serious revamp of the Friars’ backcourt. The former All-SEC performer is expected to bring much-needed scoring and leadership to the team.
Along with the Vanderbilt addition, Providence has picked up two more high-impact transfers, as English looks to reshape the roster and restore the Friars’ competitive edge. These moves come just weeks after English called his team’s final performance “pitiful and embarrassing,” underscoring his urgency for change.
With fresh talent on board and a renewed sense of purpose, Coach English and the Friars are already generating buzz for a major bounce-back in the 2025-26
season.
