Briefly

As the college basketball season nears its conclusion, the NCAA transfer portal activity is intensifying, with St. John's Red Storm identified as a key player in this realm. Under head coach Rick Pitino, the team is shifting its strategy towards acquiring players from the portal rather than traditional high school recruitment. Notably, St. John's is looking to recruit North Carolina guard Ian Jackson, a talented five-star player who recently entered the portal. His potential move could significantly bolster the team following the loss of a key player to the same portal.

Ian Jackson's potential transfer to St. John's could be a strategic move, matching a Bronx native with Rick Pitino in a competitive Big East environment.
