  Episode 202: Tounde Yessoufou Chooses St. John's Over NBA

  Jun 5, 202658 min

  In one swift move, Tounde Yessoufou made the decision to pull his name out of the NBA Draft and immediately transferring and committing to Rick Pitino and St. John's. It's the cherry on top of a rollercoaster off-season that now boasts two top 15 portal transfers, and one of the best classes in the sport. A dynamic athlete that changes the entire composition of the Red Storm roster, he's a high powered scorer who brings tenacious energy on the court. St. John's adds arguably a top 3 player in the portal, someone who was being talked about as a late first round draft pick this year, and someone who said picking St. John's was a no brainer. Now the goal is to be a lottery pick next year, but first - win big in Queens. Zach Braziller of the New York Post joins to break it all down.

  Episode 201: Rick Pitino's Global Gamble: Dissecting St. John’s New-Look Roster

  May 22, 20261h 25m

  This off-season has been an interesting one to say the least. The route to bring players on has been an unconventional one by St. John's standards but is becoming more common amongst the college ranks. Rick Pitino has completely reshaped the St. John's Red Storm roster with one of the most unique strategies in the sport: loading up on international professionals, overseas veterans, and experienced older players like Quinn Ellis, Djordije Jovanović, and Babacar Sane. Is this the blueprint for the future, or a dangerous gamble? That's the thematic question many are asking about St. John's. We break down the roster construction, fit alongside Ian Jackson, Ruben Prey and Donnie Freeman, and why Pitino may be building his most fascinating team yet. Plus what impact with the additions of incoming freshman Theo Edema, and Lazar Stojkovic in the front court make plus Avery Brown and Kyle Cuffe Jr. in the backcourt. A lot has been made of the players added, who was missed and what they'll do with the last two spots. We discuss the roster, what Rick Pitino said earlier this week and more as Kevin Connelly of StormThePaint joins for a little off-season recap.

  Apr 20, 202646 min

  The off-season is here and the St. John's Red Storm have made their first major addition. After a season where the point guard question was asked every day, Rick Pitino and his staff have addressed it right out of the gates. Quinn Ellis has committed to St. John's, one of the best point guards overseas is headed to Queens. The 6'5 floor general picked St. John's over blue bloods and other high end programs. Joining to shed light on what Rick Pitino is getting in Ellis is his long time trainer Gary Maitland. Maitland has trained the Sheffield native since he was 16 and helped develop him into one of the premier playmakers in the EuroLeague. We discuss the kind of player he is, how his experience will lend to dominating the college game and more. Plus some portal talk, where St. John's stands with some recruits, what's on the horizon and more. Follow the podcast on Twitter: @EyeonStormPod = Eye on the Storm Podcast #sjubb
