Eight teams overhauling their roster​

St. John's Red Storm: Rick Pitino wasted no time stamping his name on the Red Storm program. Nine players entered the portal, including six who started at least 17 games, but Pitino came away with 10 transfers -- namely Ivy League Player of the Year Jordan Dingle, All-Ivy forward Chris Ledlum and MAAC tournament MVP Daniss Jenkins.

Pitino and Cronin are close. St. John's-UCLA would be a great OOC game for now and the future.

Hopefully second time is a charm in Sin City. We were supposed to play the programs first ever game in Nevada back in Mullin’s first season as HC.

That matchup with Arizona State never happened and was replaced with the South Carolina game at Mohegan Sun.

Coach Pitino’s horse Aggelos the Great ran today at Saratoga took third in the first race. First time starter, he ran in the lead most of the race and tired in the last 1/16th. Ran under the colors of RAP Racing. NY Bred…went off as the 8/5 favorite Got beat by a 15-1 shot.

Great to hear. That’s exactly why he stayed. Get pushed/better by one of the greatest to ever do it.

Dunlap has a great frame to grow into. Beyond his dead eye shooting, this kid is going to be a versatile matchup problem and outstanding player in due time.

One thing is for sure. You know Pitino told the cooks give them more MSG

Rick Pitino embracing ‘good pressure’ that comes with massive St. John’s expectations

Rick Pitino hears the chants when he walks around the city. He heard it on his trip this weekend to the Saratoga Race Course.

Yeah, Rick clearly is pushing Joel to the limit, which will translate to not only a solid season, but maximize his professional reward somewhere. From NY Post piece;

“It’s definitely different, definitely got a different aura around it,” said standout center Joel Soriano, the team’s lone returning contributor. “Everything is a lot more, I would say, demanding.“
