In April Patrick Dumont told me when I asked about Jason Kidd’s performance last season:
“He’s an important voice in our organization. I really value his insights and his knowledge of the game. I know the rest of the team does, as well.”
Three weeks later Dumont hired Masai Ujiri. Given Dumont’s regard for Kidd, his departure is a clear indication that Dumont has given full basketball control to Ujiri.
Especially considering Dumont now has to eat 4 years of Kidd salary while also paying a new coach.
The future is bright for the #RISDClassof2026 ✨
Together, they have been offered nearly $79 million in scholarships — a reflection of their hard work, determination, and big dreams for what comes next. From colleges across the country to career and military pathways, the Class of 2026 is making their mark, and we can’t wait to see where they go next. 🎓👏

Full circle moments like this mean everything.
2025-2026 Stars Teacher of the Year returned home to @LakeHighlandsHS, as a teacher ready to serve the community that shaped her.
A proud RISD graduate from LHHS, continues her family’s legacy in the same community while raising her own children in RISD.
For Marisha, teaching is more than a profession—it is a calling. Returning to LHHS represents a full-circle moment and a meaningful opportunity to invest in the next generation from the very community that invested in her.
Her “why” for teaching is rooted in giving back. She is passionate about helping, inspiring, and empowering students of all backgrounds to believe in their potential and to leave her classroom with confidence and hope. She is committed to creating a learning environment where students feel valued, supported, and connected—one where learning is meaningful, engaging, and grounded in care.
