Yesterday, St. John’s added transfer Andre Curbelo who had spent the last two years in the Big 10 with Illinois.
The 6’1” guard, who was a big piece of the Illini attack, brings several quality traits to the Red Storm ballclub, including his crafty offensive game, his passing ability, and his success doubling and trapping on defense.
Curbelo returns home, and will play with familiar faces from high school in Rafael Pinzon and Drissa Traore, who all attended Long Island Lutheran; Curbelo has played for the Puerto Rican national team in youth tournaments, as Pinzon has.
