Lost in the shuffle of St. John’s’ 2015-16 season was the quandary over Marcus LoVett Jr.
At the onset, it was believed that he was going to be competing with fellow freshman guard Federico Mussini for the position of point guard on the St. John’s roster, potentially giving the Red Storm, at least on paper, two options for the point and shooting guard positions, and less worry over how the offense will be conducted.
The uncertainty over LoVett last season was his eligibility. In November, as the season was beginning to unfold for the Red Storm, their fight to try and incorporate LoVett into the roster was beginning as well.
