It’s a debut that can’t come soon enough.
On Nov. 11 when the Johnnies open their regular season against Bethune Cookman, it will have been one year, five months and three weeks since Marcus Lovett Jr. committed to play for St. John’s. Red Storm fans, players and coaches have been waiting anxiously throughout that period for LoVett to make his St. John’s debut.
After he was ruled a partial qualifier by the NCAA around this time last year, LoVett had to spend what would have been his freshman season watching on the sidelines as his young teammates struggled to an 8-24 overall record.
