Rick Pitino, head coach of St. John's Red Storm, has recruited European player Imran Suljanovic, a promising sharpshooter from Austria. After evaluating Suljanovic during a live viewing near Bologna, Pitino praised his agility and overall game beyond what's visible on film. Suljanovic, an 18-year-old talent, averaged 22.4 points and gained recognition at the 2024 FIBA EuroBasket Tournament. Having played in Italy's Serie A, he chose to accept Pitino's offer over interests from other well-known programs, highlighting the allure of St. John's fan base as a key factor in his commitment.
I traveled outside Bologna, where he impressed me more with his overall game than what I watched on film. He shoots, passes, handles, and is extremely agile.
When I heard about St. John's, I mean, of course, when Rick Pitino calls you, it's hard to say no.
College has always been an option for me, and I was just waiting on the right place and the right opportunity.
Pitino has now added his fourth three-point shooter of the Spring, as Suljanovic joins another sharpshooter.
