NBL EXPERIENCE
Jarrid Frye made his NBL debut with the Adelaide 36ers at 28 years of age. He scored 15 points in his first game.
In 2013, the 36ers secured NBL championship-winning coach Joey Wright, who took the team from two consecutive wooden spoons to the Grand Final against the Perth Wildcats. The team retained its core group of Aussie talent, including Daniel Johnson (19.2 points and 6.8 rebounds), who once again led the team in scoring, and rebounding, Adam Gibson, Anthony Petrie and Jason Cadee.
The 36ers also received a boost with Mitchell Creek and Luke Schenscher back on the court after both having their previous campaigns ended prematurely due to injury. Creek overcoming a near career-ending Achilles injury, and Schenscher undergoing elbow surgery. The club also added BJ Anthony (via New Zealand) and 2011 NBL MVP Gary Ervin (via Townsville) to pair with new import Jarrid Frye in the backcourt.
After Round 7 of the season the 36ers, led by Ervin and Johnson, were sitting in second place on the NBL ladder with a 7–2 record, which also included a 5–0 run. This included the 36ers winning both of their games against the Breakers in Auckland, their first wins over the triple defending champions since 2009. Adelaide also took down the undefeated Perth Wildcats (91–86) in front of 6,585 fans at the Adelaide Arena. Perth had been sitting on a 7-0 record prior to that loss in front of the largest Adelaide home crowd since Brett Maher’s last home game in 2009.
By December, Adelaide (9-4) had already eclipsed last season’s eight-win total.
On February 12, 2014, due to underperforming play and a ankle injury suffered before the season started, the team released Jarrid Frye (8.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists), who wasn’t able to deliver the production needed for the second-placed Adelaide outfit who were eyeing finals campaign. Adelaide replaced him with guard Rhys Carter, who had been playing in Sweden.
Adelaide would go on to reach the NBL Grand Final, losing to Perth in three games.
Jarrid Frye played one season in the NBL. He averaged 8.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 19 NBL games.

Feni re-signed Frye on 30 August 2011 for the 2011–12 season, and he continued to feature in both domestic competition and the Balkan League. During the 2011–12 Balkan League campaign, he was listed at 12.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game, playing alongside Ivan Lilov, Zlatko Gocevski, and Dusan Knezevic, while RealGM’s 2011–12 Macedonian league team leaders for Feni list Frye at 11.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game.

COLLEGE
Frye suited up for Sacred Heart during the 2003-04 season, which the program’s year-by-year records list as a 12-15 campaign (8-10 in Northeast Conference play) under head coach Dave Bike.
In that 2003-04 season, Frye appeared in 26 games and made 3 starts, averaging 18.6 minutes while totaling 171 points (6.6 points per game).
He shot 63-for-153 from the field (41.2%), went 13-for-42 from three (31.0%), and made 32-of-47 free throws (68.1%). Across those 26 games as a freshman, Frye recorded 91 total rebounds (3.5 per game) with 31 offensive rebounds and 60 defensive rebounds, along with 45 assists (1.7 per game), 15 steals, 5 blocks, 42 turnovers, 61 fouls, and 483 total minutes played. Frye returned for the 2004-05 season as a sophomore and played in 27 games with 17 starts for a Sacred Heart team that finished 4-23 (3-15 NEC) under Dave Bike.
He averaged 25.4 minutes and produced 240 points (8.9 points per game), shooting 97-for-221 from the field (43.9%), 13-for-54 from three (24.1%), and 33-for-61 at the foul line (54.1%). In that 2004-05 season, Frye added 102 total rebounds (3.8 per game) with 22 offensive rebounds and 80 defensive rebounds, plus 73 assists (2.7 per game), 41 steals, 7 blocks, 81 turnovers, and 685 minutes across his 27 appearances. As a junior in 2005-06, Frye started all 28 games and became a primary option, averaging 31.7 minutes and 16.1 points per game while totaling 451 points across the season.
He shot 162-for-361 overall (44.9%), hit 19-of-75 from three (25.3%), and went 108-for-161 at the line (67.1%), while lifting his rebounding to 179 total boards (6.4 per game) and adding 74 assists (2.6 per game), 49 steals, and 13 blocks. That 2005-06 Sacred Heart team finished 11-17 (8-10 NEC) under Dave Bike, and Frye’s year included documented all-around stat lines such as an early-season road win at Albany on November 21, 2005, when he posted 8 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists while Kibwe Trim went for a career-high 29 points and the Pioneers won 63-61.
During that same stretch, Sacred Heart’s November 30, 2005 game at Columbia noted Frye scoring 6 points as part of an 8-0 run that pulled the Pioneers back within three in the second half. Frye’s junior season accolades included earning Second-team All-NEC recognition (2006), matching the listing in major player profiles and award summaries. As a senior in 2006-07, Frye again started all 32 games and averaged 27.1 minutes, 13.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game while shooting 47.7% from the field (169-for-354).
He attempted fewer threes that season (9-for-51, 17.6%) and finished 79-for-129 at the free-throw line (61.4%), totaling 426 points, 161 rebounds, 86 assists, 54 steals, and 17 blocks. That 2006-07 Sacred Heart team went 18-14 overall and finished 12-6 in NEC play (2nd), again coached by Dave Bike, and the offense averaged 78.5 points per game.

During NEC play, Frye had notable scoring nights documented by recap coverage, including a 22-point performance in a 72-64 win at Saint Francis (PA) on January 20, 2007, with Sacred Heart listed at 10-8 overall and 6-1 in conference at that point of the season.
In the NEC tournament run that followed, ESPN’s game log shows Frye scoring 16 points against Wagner on March 2, 2007, then 8 points versus Quinnipiac on March 5, and 16 points at Central Connecticut State on March 8. Across his four-year Sacred Heart career, Frye played 113 games (80 starts) and averaged 11.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game while shooting 45.1% from the field, with career totals of 1,287 points, 534 rebounds, and 276 assists. Sacred Heart’s official record book places Frye at 1,287 career points, lists him as a First Team All-NEC selection for 2006-07, and shows him prominently across multiple Division I-era leaderboard categories: 491 career field goals made, 534 career rebounds, 276 career assists, and 158 career steals.
