St. John's Adds Top-75 Prospect Kelvin Odih to Roster

St. John's basketball has completed its roster for the upcoming season by securing a commitment from Kelvin Odih, a four-star, top-75 high school prospect who previously committed to West Virginia before reopening his recruitment due to a coaching change. Odih chose St. John’s over several high-major programs, citing the opportunity to play for coach Rick Pitino as a key factor in his decision. Known for his athleticism, defensive prowess, and physicality on the perimeter, Odih is expected to contribute immediately with his aggressive on-ball defense and ability to turn defense into offense. His offensive skills have also developed significantly in the past year, suggesting strong potential for further growth. Odih joins Austrian wing Imran Suljanovic as the second freshman addition to the roster, complementing a team already bolstered by the nation’s top transfer portal class. The addition highlights Pitino’s dual focus on immediate success and building for the future.
