St. John’s just added a new player, Dillon Mitchell, from Cincinnati. Coach Rick Pitino is excited about the addition, praising Mitchell’s work ethic and skills. Mitchell will join forces with Zuby Ejiofor and Bryce Hopkins to improve defense and rebounding for the team.
Not really sure why this matters, but Mitchell shared that he chose St. John’s for the development opportunities and the coaching staff’s focus on his weaknesses. The team’s recent success, especially with Ejiofor, shows their potential in the upcoming season. St. John’s defense is strong and adaptable, making them a tough opponent for any team.
The addition of Mitchell has boosted St. John’s transfer ranking, making them the top team in the nation for transfer class strength. With players like Ian Jackson, Olizjah Sellers, Bryce Hopkins, and Joson Sannon, Pitino is assembling a versatile squad. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like a national championship run could be on the horizon for the Johnnies next season.
