St. John’s wanted no part of Desi Rodriguez.
That was the case on Sunday, Feb. 21, and it was the case when the now-Seton Hall standout was going through the recruiting process as a high school kid from the Bronx. While fellow New York City products and current Pirates teammates Isaiah Whitehead and Khadeen Carrington received offers from the Red Storm – the Concrete Jungle’s most notable college team – Rodriguez flew under the Johnnies’ radar, as he did with most schools.
“St. John’s is definitely a team to look at and want to go to,” Rodriguez said, generally speaking about recruiting.
