Mitchell was a five-star recruit as a hyper-athletic 6’8 forward. He’ll be a key piece defensively for Pitino as a rim protector and rebounder. Bryce Hopkins was headed to the top before tearing his ACL. When healthy, he has a lot to offer Pitino and the Johnnies.
Ian Jackson is expected to lead the backcourt as a score-first guard who can make it rain from three and provide some rim pressure off the bounce. He came in from North Carolina.
Oziyah Sellers is the headliner of the incoming class. Sellers is a pure shooter on the wing as a thin 6’5 guard. He hit 40 percent of his threes and 90 percent of his free throws at Stanford last season. He’s a catch-and-shoot marksman who will help St. John’s balance the floor.
Joson Sanon came in from Arizona State and he has tons of scoring upside as a combo guard. He was on fire from three early in his freshman year for Arizona State before tailing off at the end of the year. He has a great frame for an off-guard, and can bully his way into mid-range shots when the offense gets stagnant.
