Report Providence Closing Secret Deal To Sign Big East MVP In A Blockbuster Trade

Garwey Dual is moving to a rival Big East school from Providence.

After registering on the transfer site in early April, the highly sought-after men’s basketball backcourt recruit has decided to attend Seton Hall. The news was initially reported on social media by CBS Sports.

Dual was a member of the Friars for one season, making 33 appearances, six of which were starts. In a 21–14 campaign, he averaged 3.3 points and 1.9 assists, assisting Providence in making it to the NIT. He will still be eligible to play for the Pirates for three seasons.

While using the transfer portal, Dual allegedly communicated with Seton Hall, Georgia, Grand Canyon, UC Santa Barbara, Texas A&M, BYU, and Memphis. The 6-foot-5 guard thought about going pro and playing in the NBA G League as well. Before the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago last month, he went to the organization’s elite camp.

The Friars were dual selected before rumored offers from league rivals DePaul, Butler, Georgetown, Arizona State, TCU, Dayton, and North Carolina State. He attended Indiana for the 2021–22 prep season, then in June 2022, he paid Providence an official visit. The Friars had just advanced to the Sweet 16 and won their first conference regular-season championship.

When Dual, a consensus top-50 prospect from his hometown, made his commitment to Providence, previous coach Ed Cooley was still in control. When Cooley unexpectedly joined the Hoyas, Dual reopened his recruiting, and one of Kim English’s first official days on the Friars’ payroll was a cross-country travel to Los Angeles.
