Rick Pitino is hopeful about Ian Jackson stepping up as the lead point guard for St. Johnâs basketball. To bolster the backcourt, the team has recruited Idaho State's Dylan Darling, a strong player averaging nearly 20 points per game. With experience at Washington State and due to injury history, he provides solid depth. Darling's role will depend on Jackson's performance. The Red Storm is also attracting a strong recruitment class while remaining open to additional roster tweaks, particularly at the center position post-Iwuchukwu's transfer.
The 6-foot-1 guard averaged 19.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game, showcasing his skills as an exceptional ball handler.
Despite a significant injury setback, Darling's experience and past performance make him a valuable addition to St. John's backcourt.
