St. John's Red Storm is looking to secure their first national title, facing challenges with roster changes and the introduction of new players, particularly Idaho State transfer Dylan Darling. Analysts see Darling's transition to the competitive Big East as a significant challenge, despite his impressive track record in the Big Sky Conference.

The team is revamped with a mix of returnees and promising transfers including top recruits Ian Jackson and Dillon Mitchell.
