In the words of the late great Coach AAR! “Reeeeeelaxxxxxxx” Friartown! The Friars will be just fine! Dink Pate will always be a Friar, and we fully support his decision given the uncertainty of his situation due to the NCAA’s ruling regarding his time in the G-League. Fair, no….not even close. But life is not fair, and the Friar’s will fight on! Go Friars!!! Love you kid! @IAMTHESHOOTER1 Go be great!!!
