Garwey Dual is staying in the Big East. The former Providence point guard, who tested the NBA draft waters, committed to play for Shaheen Holloway and Seton Hall for his sophomore season.
Dual spent his freshman season playing for Kim English and the Friars, and while he came in with a lot of folks projecting him as a one-and-done talent, the 6’5 guard averaged just 3.3 points, 1.9 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 18.5 minutes per game, shooting 40% on two-pointers and 25% from 3.
Dual admitted he was hoping to find a spot that would allow him to play point guard, which he didn’t do at Providence thanks to the emergence of star Devin Carter, and Seton Hall might be just the place for him.
The Pirates lost Kadary Richmond to another Big East school, St. John’s, while Dre Davis bounced to Ole Miss.
Dual should get an opportunity to play big minutes right away, and Holloway’s hard-nosed, defensive focused style should help elevate his draft stock and allow him to showcase his versatile set of skills.
Holloway is stocking up on sophomores who didn’t play much as freshman, also adding Scotty Middleton from Ohio State, and if his gambles pay off this team may improve on last year’s NIT championship by competing in the Big Dance.
