The entire St. John’s team is now on campus
Whether you want to call it rebuilding or retooling, the St. John’s coaching staff has been hard at work to get this roster filled back up after 5 seniors graduated and another 5 transferred. Below Coach Matt Abdelmassih tweets the first look at the new additions of the squad.
Since April 1st- 9 new additions to the program. Great to have them here all together #sjubb pic.twitter.com/VOeHSTKisY

St. John’s and Detroit is a matchup that intrigues me tmrw. Johnnies will be shorthanded, but Detroit’s a good gauge for them this year.

@davekrupinski I don’t think I’ve ever seen St. John’s have a legit shot blocker/shot changer. So I’m looking forward to seeing Chris Obekpa
