St. John’s Red Storm: No.7 Big East, No. 77 Nation

Isaih Moore – 6’9 / 205 PF

If one were to browse Isaih Moore highlights you will be bombarded with put-back dunks, break-a-way dunks, and dunks off the dish, but he is more than just dunks. It will not be argued that Moore was usually the tallest player on the court, but even when posting up or cleaning up the glass against smaller players, his positioning is great. He does not take short cuts, and that shows in those so-called break-a-way dunks that he gets because he hustles to get in front of the ball.

Dylan Wusu – 6’3 / 180 SG

A strong guard who has the ball-handling ability to create space to create his own shots. At times at Our Saviour Lutherian School, those shots did not always look as if they were going to go in, but he shot them with confidence. Coach Anderson would be wise to get the freshman to attempt less tough three-point shots, regardless of how much success he had making them in high school.

Posh Alexander – 5’11 / 170 PG

Great athleticism for his height and is known to finish above the rim if given a clear path. Perhaps it is due to being 5’11, but his worth ethic on both ends of the court is outstanding. As a member of the Saviour Lutherian School’s back-court, with fellow St. John’s recruit Dylan Wusu, Alexander was the type of player who would look to take over games. His greatest weapon is his dribble and it is how he loves to get to the basket. Despite seeming excessive at times, it worked in high school.

Vince Cole – 6’6 / 195 SG

If Cole gets playing time in the back-court from Coach Anderson, it will be to the detriment of Dylan Wusu. After averaging 18.7 points per game with 6.2 rebounds with USC Salkehatchie, Cole was selected to the JUCO All-American Second Team. Although Cole does not have the best shooting form, he does have a high release and he makes a lot of shots from way beyond the arc. Unfortunately for defenders, Cole really only needs a little bit of space to get his shots off, and the majority of the time he utilizes his dribble to get his defender off balance as he sets himself up for a pullback three.
