Dink Pate of the G League's Westchester Knicks committed to Providence on Thursday, his agent told ESPN.

Pate was a top-30 recruit in the 2023 class before opting to play for the G League Ignite.

Pate averaged 16.8 points and 6.7 rebounds at Westchester last season.

Providence also secured a commitment from transfer Miles Byrd, who was the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year.

The two players represent statement recruits for new coach Bryan Hodgson, who took over the job last month.
