St. John’s basketball begins Class of 2024 with international prospect

The St. John’s basketball team began off its 2024 recruiting class with international flair.

Rick Pitino and the St. John’s basketball program have already started on its 2024 recruiting class by landing Greek guard Lefteris Liotopoulos.

The commitment was reported first by the Zach Braziller of the New York Post.

The Greek teenager is a highly touted 6-foot-5 guard who had been receiving plenty of high major interest including Stanford, Virginia, and Princeton.

Rick Pitino spent time coaching in Greece with Panathinaikos B.C. in the Greek Professional League before returning to college basketball in the United States with Iona.
