Chris Mullin continues to add new blood to the St. John’s program, and in year three, the talent is still rising.
St. John’s only has one player in the freshman class of 2018 that will play this season - Bryan Trimble, Jr. (who is joined by Boubacar Diakite, but Diakite is redshirting).
But the hope for St. John’s comes from the newcomers - Trimble, and the standout transfers Justin Simon and Marvin Clark, who are expected to elevate the Johnnies into a winning squad, and possibly the postseason.
Simon, listed at 6’5” and 215 pounds, is an athlete who played point guard in high school but found himself, in limited minutes, playing less of a facilitator role with the Arizona Wildcats.
