“Rick Pitino Recruits Top Pennsylvania Player to Redefine St. John’s Roster”

NCAA – New quality recruit from Pennsylvania for Rick Pitino, the new coach of the Red Storm, who continues the redesign of the roster of the Queens program.

Named “head coach” of St. John’s in mid-March, Rick Pitino is not idle to give itself every chance to build a solid workforce and thus restore the image of the Red Storm from next season.

The legendary 70-year-old technician who passed through Kentucky, Louisville and Iona has just signed his first big shot in St. John’s with the recruitment of the leader Jordan Dinglethe ninth player to join him on the Queens campus since his arrival at the head of the program, so less than two months ago.

It’s a big blow because the boy is one of the best attackers in the whole country: with an average of 23.4 points (at 46.4% on shots) per game last season, he was effectively in second place nationally. ! On paper, he is therefore clearly the best player in St. John’s, or at least the most important in attack.

In a workforce almost completely renewed compared to last season (only one player in the squad was already present), and who will then need time to find his cruising rhythm on the ground at the start of the school year, the former Pennsylvania will therefore embody a stabilizing presence.

In any case, Rick Pitino does Rick Pitino: he aims big and high, as usual

. And after a depressing crossing of the desert, for four or five seasons, St. John’s is starting to dream again…
