Overview
- Dink Pate committed to Providence on Thursday, his agent Sam Permut told ESPN.
- He turned down two-way and 10-day NBA offers to keep the option to play college basketball.
- His NCAA status remains unresolved because he signed an Exhibit 10 with the Knicks, and the NCAA has not said if that type of NBA deal blocks college play.
- The 6-foot-8 guard averaged 16.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 3.6 assists for Westchester this season and raised his three-point mark to 36.8% on high volume.
- New coach Bryan Hodgson adds Pate alongside San Diego State transfer Miles Byrd after interest from Kentucky, Alabama, NC State, and Georgia, reflecting a growing flow of G League players into college programs.
