Men’s basketball hits the recruiting trail

Freudenberg, Alkins and Maker on the Johnnies radar

In their first offseason at St. John’s, Chris Mullin and his coaching staff did a marvelous job of bringing in six talented recruits in order to build a competitive roster on the fly. And, while Malik Ellison, Yankuba Sima, Federico Mussini, Darien Williams, Marcus LoVett and Kassoum Yakwe are key to the future of the men’s basketball team, Mullin’s 2016 class has the potential to be even stronger.

The Johnnies have already landed four-star Brooklyn combo guard Shamorie Ponds and one of the top JUCO prospects in the country, small forward Bashir Ahmed.
