@SJUDave That pitch is cornier than the FSU Seminole rap from the 80’s

Some of the pitch from Gonzaga to Massamba Diop that helped land him in Spokane, from freshmen Davis Fogle ⬇️
Theo Lawson@TheoLawson_SR
Davis Fogle just wrapped up a kids clinic at Shoot 360. Covered a variety of topics with him after, including the pitch he and other Gonzaga players gave to Massamba Diop. “We explained to him, this is a basketball school, you’re going to be a celebrity here, they love you here. … We told him, we’re going to be good next year, we’re going to make a run, we’re going to win and you’re exactly what we need. Lob threat, block shots, it’s a perfect place for you.”

@nyccoke @PollsRedstorm Thiam and Diop playing a game of chicken to see who commits first

@SJUDave @StillWishful Might be the team with the most Europeans since 16/17
English
NEWS: Lazar Stojkovic commits to St. John's. The 7'0" Forward from Serbia is a big man with legit perimeter skill, and offensive versatility.
Euro scout tells me he's “A big with guard skills.”
Ohio State, Baylor, Indiana, and Washington were also expressing interest #sjubb

@MCohenSports07 @JonRothstein Doesn’t the Portal close tonight?
English
Massamba Diop will be visiting St. John’s this weekend, per @JonRothstein.
Diop, a 7 foot 1 big man, averaged 13.6 PPG and 5.8 RPG last season at Arizona State. #SJUBB

@newyorkgrooovee They way AAU is headed, international players bring a better ROI
English
Are we just signing international prospects and saying f*ck the transfer portal?
Not that this is a bad addition or anything. I know nothing about this kid. Just seems like all the players we’re looking at & signing are international players.

European wing Đorđije Jovanović has committed to St. John's, according to a source. #sjubb

Ok respectfully how am I supposed to pronounce that name?
Jonathan Givony@DraftExpress
NEWS: Budućnost's Đorđije Jovanović has committed to St. John's, a source told DraftExpress. The 6'8, 22-year-old Montenegrin averages 4.9 points in 15 minutes in the Adriatic League. Rick Pitino lands a high-level shooter with extensive international and G League experience

One year ago, the world lost a shining star that brightened the lives of anyone he met.
I miss you, D.
I am so grateful for all the memories we had.
Thank you for looking over us.
Love you, brother.
(If you can, work some magic to help our Mets figure it out…)

Bashing a potential future player & not calling them by their actual name might not be the best thing to do when we’ve only got 4 players.
Also — I don’t think schools like Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, Arkansas, and Alabama would be interested in Bashir too if he sucks.

@SJUDave Big East could be a 5 bid team next year. Hard to 3Peat outright
English
Big add literally, figuratively, and financially for UConn. Najai Hines is raved about as someone with massive potential.
St. John's was interested, I know they liked him from what they saw. Heard price tag was astronomical, but Hurley gets his next big man to mold.
Jeff Borzello@jeffborzello
NEWS: Seton Hall transfer Najai Hines has committed to UConn, he announced. Played just 18 minutes per game as a freshman, but averaged 5.5 rebounds and 2.2 blocks. Among the nation’s leaders in offensive rebounding rate and block percentage.

Here’s a look at the updated St. John’s depth chart heading into 2026-27:
PG: Darling, Ellis
SG: Jackson, Sanon, Fotis, Pohto
SF: Odih
PF:
C: Prey
Moves will be on the way with transfers visiting this week.
#SJUBB

@newyorkgrooovee Sanon was very anti transition offense and would usually stop fast breaks, Jackson would take it to the rim. Both made defensive mistakes but Jackson with better SG to build around
English
Joson Sanon came to St. John’s w/ lots of hype but had a terrible basketball IQ & was an extremely inconsistent shooter.
In 3 of the final 4 games this season (UConn/Kansas/Duke) he scored 5 points on 3/18 shooting & committed 7 fouls. Sanon is more than replaceable. We’re fine.
#SJUBB
Jonathan Givony@DraftExpress
NEWS: St. John's Joson Sanon will enter the transfer portal, agents CJ Ward and Derek Malloy tell DraftExpress. The 6'5 sophomore averaged 7.9 points in 21 minutes, shooting 34% from 3. Five-star recruit in the high school class of 2024.
English
@SJUBarstool Rebuilding around Jackson and Prey is more flexible
English
Makes sense with the addition of Ellis, but still sucks gonna miss church bells. Darling off the bench would’ve been very nice.

English
His church bells were dragging him down
Dave@SJUDave
Oh no he bounced it!! #sjubb Dylan Darling, confirmed better at basketball than baseball. Fun moment for Bells
English
@SJUBarstool A full offseason with little to no distractions will do a lot for him.
English
I know fans were disappointed with his play this past year but Jackson is wildly talented and was trying to learn a new position. A second year in Pitino’s system and playing a position he’s more comfortable in should lead to more success
#sjubb
Roger Rubin@RogRubin
Sounds like St. John’s Ian Jackson and coach Rick Pitino have negotiated an avenue for him to return based on what Jackson said today at the Mets game. #sjubb
English
@newyorkgrooovee If only there was a way to valuate a player’s performance to monetary statistics and put an NIL valuation on them 🤣
English
This is a reminder to those CBB experts out there spitballing absurd NIL valuations “because of the market demand” — One good season does not mean anything.
Creighton brought out the brinks truck for Freeman. Averaged 11 minutes per. One year later, he’s back in the portal.
Joe Tipton@JoeTipton
NEWS: Creighton big man Owen Freeman will enter the @TransferPortal, he told @On3. The 6-10 junior began his career at Iowa. on3.com/news/creighton…

Kansas transfer Flory Bidunga’s asking price is around $5 million.
The big man market is cooked.
College Basketball Content@CBBcontent
Louisville transfer Sananda Fru reportedly has an asking price of $3 million. The 6-11 German center averaged 9.0 PPG & 6.1 RPG. Shot 75.3% from the field.
English
Whatever, man.
We did this last year, it was a cash grab, alright. The coaching staff developed you into an All Big 12 player and you’re playing for one of the best coaches in the country at developing bigs. Good luck finding a school that can further maximize your talents!
Joe Tipton@JoeTipton
NEWS: Kansas big man Flory Bidunga, the Big 12 Defensive POY, is entering the @TransferPortal, source tells @On3. Will also test the NBA Draft waters. The 6-10 sophomore averaged 13.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game this season. All-Big 12 First Team. Represented by @MomentousSP. on3.com/college/kansas…
