Rick Pitino is reshaping the St. John's basketball program through strategic use of the transfer portal, having secured four four-star transfers. Headlining this group is Jackson, a former North Carolina commit known for his scoring and athleticism, who aims to make a strong impact in his hometown. Also joining are Sanon, a defensive-minded two-way guard from Arizona State, and Hopkins, a versatile forward with valuable Big East experience from Providence. Additionally, Sellers, a Stanford transfer, enhances the team's perimeter defense and floor spacing, signaling a bright future for the Red Storm under Pitino's leadership.
Jackson started off as one of the most high-profile transfers of the offseason. He was a top-10 recruit out of high school who initially committed to North Carolina.
After a fantastic freshman season in which he averaged 11.9 points and 3.4 rebounds and displayed significant defensive potential, Sanon, a top-25 recruit in the country, departed Arizona State.
The former Providence player gives the Red Storm frontcourt much-needed Big East experience and versatility. Hopkins is renowned for his ability to generate offensive mismatches and his toughness while grabbing rebounds.
Coming over from Stanford, Sellers is a wing who contributes on both ends of the court. And while his stats may not pop off the page, his perimeter defense and floor-spacing ability are invaluable.
