Class of 2023 four-star shooting guard Garwey Dual has re-committed to Providence and new coach Kim English, he told ZAGSBLOG.
“I feel like the reason I gravitated towards coach Kim is because for one he’s been in the NBA and had a successful career so therefore he knows exactly what it takes,” he said.
“But we all know just because you play doesn’t mean you’re automatically a good coach so when I saw he had elite feel for both things I just knew then and there he could help get me get to the next level without a doubt and his work ethic is inspiring. Every time we speak he’s either on the way to the gym and or in the gym and that’s just something made gravitate to him even more!”
The 6-foot-5 guard out of Southern California Academy initially committed to former Friars coach Ed Cooley and then de-committed in March after Cooley left for Georgetown.
Previously, Dual considered Arizona State, Wisconsin, Butler, DePaul, NC State and Dayton.
Dual, the No. 83 player in the class of 2023 — is known not just for his shot making — but his elite defensive capabilities.
“As a long 6-foot-4 point guard with an excellent handle, being a three-level scoring threat and having great defense, Garway will shine at Providence and give other guards in the Big East a tough time,” Southern California coach Jeff Metzger told ZAGSBLOG. “Garway has NBA potential and I look forward to seeing his growth here in the near future.”
