Sensing an excellent shot.

Slater and Meyer both predicted Brooks to SJU on their crystal ball yesterday FWIW. Would be a great get

He may very well commit to us and I sure hope he does but I have noticed that many of these CB picks both in football and basketball go to the school that the prospect just had an official visit with. If he takes another official visit wouldn't be surprised to see that school pick up a few CB predictions. I do realize though that Slater and Meyer are two of the better CB predicts so I hope they are right. These picks as are those of the kids involved are fluid though.

UConn would love nab a visit from Brooks, as would Washington, but currently, it seems as if Cal and St. John’s might stand in the best position for the four-star senior.

Sounds like Brooks, similar to Brown, may want to wait and see how the season pans out for SJU and others before deciding.  Exciting times to be a Johnnies fan again.

Former USC commit J'Raan Brooks has committed to St. John's, per a source. Top-75 player in 2018 class. Huge get for Chris Mullin. #SJUBB

Per Jon Rothstein.

Nice pickup!

Wow, nice to hear!

BOOM !!!!!

Merry Christmas indeed...

Tremendous pick up.

what a huge pickup!!

Just when you least expect it and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Great work by the staff. 6 new players in fol next year and 4 of them have legitimate size. Welcome J’raan

Heck yeah!  I felt good about our chances, but didn't think he"d make the call so soon. 

This is a solid pickup, and a kid who likely can help us right outta the gate. 

Good job by the staff, and much luck to J'Raan!

Nice pickup.  Welcome aboard Mr
 Brooks!

Great get!

Nice Christmas present.  Welcome!

Huge get. If we have most of this years roster back we will have a deep and very talented roster with these additions. Brooks willl be a huge part of it. A legit big who can score down low and mid range. We are missing that right now. Welcome!

Getting a commit like this is huge for the program.
