St. John’s to welcome forward Josh Roberts for official visit
St. John’s pursuit of talent in 2018 has included some highly-rated, nationally known forwards and guards, but the Johnnies have also taken a shine to an unheralded post-grad named Josh Roberts from Alabama.
Roberts, a 6’9” power forward who will play next fall in a post-grad year at Montverde Academy, is originally from Troy, Alabama, where he played at Charles Henderson HS. The Johnnies have seen him running in AAU ball with the Southern Stampede, the AAU team that 2019 guard target Jalen Lecque plays with.
St. John’s likes him so much that they are bringing him in for an official visit in September, per Adam Zagoria.
