New York, NY – Top transfer portal prospect Joson Sanon has made his commitment to play for St. John’s University under the guidance of renowned coach Rick Pitino. The 19-year-old former Arizona State wing player expressed his excitement to join the Red Storm, emphasizing his desire to excel under Pitino’s coaching. Sanon, whose impressive stats from his freshman season caught the attention of many, chose St. John’s without visiting any other schools after entering the transfer portal.
Sanon’s decision to join St. John’s comes after the Red Storm’s NCAA tournament run, where they faced a defeat at the hands of John Calipari’s Arkansas team. With the departure of key players from this season’s roster, including seniors Kadary Richmond, Deivon Smith, and Aaron Scott, Pitino is looking to Sanon to fill the gaps and provide the team with much-needed shooting expertise.
Known for his skills as a dynamic shot maker, Sanon’s commitment is a valuable addition to St. John’s as they navigate through potential losses to the transfer portal. The influx of players entering the transfer portal this season has risen significantly, surpassing previous years’ numbers, signaling a shift in the landscape of college basketball.
With Sanon’s potential and determination to work hard under Pitino’s mentorship, St. John’s is gearing up for a promising future on the court. The recruitment of top talents like Sanon reflects the team’s commitment to staying competitive in the ever-evolving college basketball arena. As the Red Storm prepare for the upcoming seasons, the addition of Sanon is set to bring a new level of athleticism and skill to the team under Pitino’s leadership.
