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

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.
