Rick Pitino's St. John's had a successful spring transfer portal, most notably adding Dillon Mitchell. His commitment excites the team, prompting CBS analyst Garry Parrish to rank St. John's No. 2 in his top 25. Mitchell, who previously played at Texas and Cincinnati, joins a strong roster including other top transfers. The Red Storm had an impressive offseason, with several notable additions and a returnee, Zuby Ejiofor, expected to contribute significantly. Last season, Pitino turned St. John's into a competitive force, achieving an NCAA tournament appearance for the first time in six years.
We are thrilled to have Dillon Mitchell join our basketball family. Pound for pound, inch for inch, [Dillon is] one of the hardest working and most productive players in the nation. He brings great experience and talent to our team.
The Red Storm had one of the best transfer portal windows in the NCAA this year.
After the transfer portal, Parrish has only ranked Houston higher than St. John's.
