#3 ST. JOHN's
Rick Pitino's transfer class is far and away the most talented in the nation. The Red Storm brought in three former five-star recruits: North Carolina's Ian Jackson, Cincinnati's Dillon Mitchell, and Arizona State's Joson Sanon. They also snagged one of the Big East's best players, ex-Providence wing Bryce Hopkins, who should be 100% after tearing his left ACL in January 2024 and appearing in only three games during the 2024-25 campaign. It will be shocking if St. John's doesn't have a top-five defensive unit next season.
