Bryce Hopkins Transfers to St. John's Basketball

Bryce Hopkins, a former standout forward at Providence, is transferring to St. John's University to play under head coach Rick Pitino. Hopkins, once an all-BIG EAST selection, struggled with knee injuries over the past two seasons, limiting his playtime to 17 games. Despite these setbacks, he maintained impressive statistics, averaging at least 15.5 points and 7.7 rebounds per game when healthy. His transfer marks a significant addition to St. John's roster, joining another recent transfer, Joson Sanon from Arizona State. With these new additions, St. John's aims to compensate for the departures of key players, including RJ Luis who is entering the NBA draft. Hopkins chose St. John's over Georgetown, highlighting Pitino's successful recruitment efforts.
