When St. John’s hosted two of the top available wings in the transfer portal, the common belief was it could land one of the two players. But Rick Pitino got both.
MIAMI — It wasn’t either/or as it turns out.
When St. John’s hosted two of the top available wings in the transfer portal, Glenn Taylor Jr. of Oregon State and RJ Luis of UMass, the common belief was it could land one of the two players., Luis did as well, adding another quality shooter to a remade roster full of them.He averaged 11.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals and shot 34.8 percent from 3-point range.After entering the portal, Luis had a long list of high-major suitors.RJ Luis of UMass is transferring to St. John’s.
Luis and the 6-foot-6 Taylor could end up starting together in a small-ball lineup at the three and four, according to sources, but that depends obviously on how St. John’s fills out the rest of the roster. His commitment cut down the number of available scholarships left for Pitino to three with two clear needs: A scoring guard and power forward.
St. John’s has zeroed in on three targets: Jordan Dingle, the Ivy League Player of the Year from Penn; Mackenzie Mgbako, a McDonald’s All-American from Roselle Catholic who was once signed at Duke; and Kentucky forward Lance Ware, a former top-40 recruit.St. John’s recently hosted Mgbako for an official visit.Ware is expected to visit St. John’s in the near future.
