Josh Roberts, 6-10 F/C, Montverede (FL) - ST. JOHN'S

With Roberts being a national recruit and getting interest from all over the country, St. John’s should be right in the picture. Coach Crawford, who is from Corona, NY, knows firsthand about St. John’s and the environment that they’re creating in Queens. Roberts could fit right into the equation if they constantly pursue him because distance won’t play a part in his recruitment.

“He was very adamant about leaving Troy, Alabama and getting out to see the country,” his coach said. “I don’t think distance will have anything to do with the recruitment. I think he’s going to go off of fit and where he could see himself playing.”

“I don’t know much about St. John’s,” said Roberts about the program. “My parents and most of my family are from New York and I know that they’re a great program. I know they go the legend Chris Mullin as head coach so that’s big time and I like it.”

As Roberts played with 2019 6-foot-4 five-star stud Jalen Lecque this past summer, he created a bond with him and his team, Southern Stampede.

“That’s my boy,” said Roberts about Lecque. He’s a good team player and teammate and we both like to win.”

Any idea when this kid plans to decide + announce?

Looking good

Yup, saying one or two more visits MAYBE does sound good for our chances.

Per Evan Daniels -

2018 forward Josh Roberts just verbally committed to St. John's, Chris Mullin, he tells Scout | Story: scout.com/college/basket…

so is he 6'8 or 6'10 - either way - welcome

Welcome to the family.

High upside, will challenge Mullin's player development programming, I like the potential. Him joining Keita, Bouki, Kass,, Marv and Tariq is one verstaile, long and athletic front court for next year!

Nice to finally have a recruit on board. Hopefully Luther Muhammad is next

Nice pickup. Hopefully he's solid to SJU and keeps getting better this season. Ranked similarly to Chris Silva coming out but maybe more athletic. If so, that's a nice addition.

Welcome Aboard!!

Kid looks like he has a lot of upside.  Nice pickup.  Hopefully Luther Muhammad and/or Dwayne Morgan next.
