1.  Kevin Farrahar: Georgia Guard Alyn Breed Commits to Providence.

2.  Friars.com: Men’s Basketball Announces 2019-2020 Big East Schedule.

3.  For all those older Friar fans (like myself) who will never forget the magical ride the Friars went on during the 1972-1973 season, Paul Lonardo has a new book out on the 1972-73 Friars called “Homegrown: The Making of the 1972-73 Providence College Friars.” You can obtain more information and a copy of the book here.

4.  John Rooke has some interesting takes in his weekly Thinking Out Loud column.

5.  Providence will play preseason exhibition games against Purdue over the next two seasons.

    I’ve watched some video on Breed he had a good shot, squares up well & a soft touch around the basket.

    Homegrowns is a must buy. That team had a chance to win it all til Marvin hurt his knee. The rematch with UCLA might have gone their way.
