The Red Storm clinched the Big East Tournament title for the first time since 2000. However, they faced a setback with the transfer of Jaiden Glover, a former four-star recruit who struggled in his freshman year. This loss, though impactful, is mitigated by Pitino's acquisition of other talented players through the portal, showing strong recruitment efforts moving forward.
Rick Pitino and the St. John's men's basketball team have made significant strides in the NCAA transfer portal, boasting the top recruiting class from transfers.
Despite positive developments, St. John's has faced some challenges, notably the transfer of former recruit Jaiden Glover to St. Joe's after a lackluster freshman year.
Glover was once a highly-regarded recruit, but averaged only 2.2 points in 6.4 minutes a game as he struggled to find his role on a championship team.
Pitino's efforts in the transfer portal have still shone through, as he has secured commitments from other promising players like Ian Jackson and Dillon Mitchell.
