Johnny Jungle.com got a chance to catch up with St. John’s Basketball Alumnus Otoja Abit to see what he was up to. “Toe” played for St. John’s from 2004-2008. Continue Reading

Did he ever get any court time?
When you're a kid from New York and you do it in New York, that lasts forever!

6 games in 04-05. 7 in 05-06, and 2 in 07-08.  He didn't get on the floor for senior day.  I thought that was kind of sad.

Nice to see he's getting into the movies a bit, though.  Hopefully the school generates a few more basketball players who parlay their time in NYC to something media-related or finance-related - makes the school that much more attractive.

Yea I think Toe is really doing well for himself with his acting. Great to see one of guys seeing success off the court after they graduate. I know he has done some off broadway stuff too which is pretty neat. I want to do more spotlights of former players.

Kudos Dave!

Super job and very interesting for us fans to know what some of our former players are doing these days. Although I never had the pleasure to meet “Toe” in person, I know a bunch of guys who did and think the world of him.

Interesting to note that Mr. Taffner helped him create his blueprint.
Another great benefit of being a Johnnie.
