Dylan Wusu (Bronx, NY)

SG | 6-foot-3 | 180 lbs | No. 236 overall recruit

A local product from the Empire State, Dylan Wusu is a three-star prospect that many in the area are higher on than recruiting services. With a well-built 6-foot-3 frame and explosive athleticism, Wusu fits the mold of a strong guard in Coach Anderson’s system. He seems likely to settle into a significant role as an off-guard during his time with St. John’s and it will be intriguing to see how his game develops. At this point, he is most well-known for his aggressive attacking and transition finishing.

Wusu is fresh off an excellent senior season in which he competed alongside fellow incoming freshman Posh Alexander (more on him soon). The two commits formed a dynamic backcourt for Our Savior Lutheran in the Bronx and they will be looking to continue their success into college. They already understand how to play off of each other and they represent the future backcourt of St. John’s basketball if all goes as planned.

Wusu committed prior to his breakout season over the past few months and he might only continue to improve. With his chiseled frame and aggressive playing style, he could turn out to be a steal for St. John’s if he continues to show improvement as a shooter and creator, both for others and himself. He is already a solid defender with the potential to cover multiple positions. Wusu should be the type of performer that improves over a multi-year career in Queens.

It is easy to be impressed by his size and physicality on the court, both traits that should translate well to playing solid minutes in the Big East.
