St. John’s Basketball: Analyzing transfer targets Jordan Dingle and Lance Ware

At the start of the offseason, the roster building for St. John’s Basketball was fairly slow. Considering that they had hired Hall of Fame Head Coach Rick Pitino and there was so much hype that followed, it was understandable that things were a bit disappointing in the beginning.

But, offseasons are long and there’s plenty of time left to fill out the rosters. And the Big East program is on a roll as of late with a couple of good pickups. They started out landing guards Daniss Jenkins, Sean Conway, Quinn Slazinski, and Nahiem Alleyne, which was a decent start.

St. John’s has since added a pair of newcomers to the group. The first was Brady Dunlap, a 6’7 sharpshooting wing and a top-100 incoming recruiting prospect. He was originally a commit at Notre Dame before Coach Mike Brey retired and the Red Storm beat out the likes of North Carolina and others.

The other commit was Glenn Taylor, a 6’6 wing who started 26 games at Oregon State. He averaged 11.6 ppg and 3.7 rpg on 43% shooting from the field. He gives the team a proven starter at the power conference level and needed size on the perimeter.

And St. John’s is far from done, as they’re in the middle of some big-time recruitments, including a few guys that could make a decision as soon as next week. Here’s both an update of previous targets, along with a couple of new names that have recently popped up.
