Rick Pitino has kept his promise to revamp St. John's roster via the transfer portal, adding key players like Ian Jackson to challenge for the Big East championship. Two weeks post-season, he welcomed Jackson, a former McDonald's All-American, who brings a high level of talent to the team. Alongside Jackson, Pitino secured transfers from Arizona State, Providence, and Stanford, ensuring a mix of experience and skill. With projected starters already averaging double-figures, St. John's aims for a competitive edge in the upcoming season, enhanced by home support from Madison Square Garden.
"We had big shoes to fill at the point. Kadary [Richmond} and Deivon [Smith] were awesome [this past season]. The ball is now in the hands of our next great point. Let's go Ian!"
"Pitino is undeniably delivering on his promise to build a roster capable of keeping St. John's at the top of the Big East, with the latest addition coming Monday afternoon, when Ian Jackson... committed to the re-energized program."
