It was 30 minutes before the tip off of the season opener against the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils and seasoned St. Johns fans were talking about which of the newcomers would be most valuable to the current Red Storm team.
The first name that came up was Joel Soriano; the Johnnies have needed a big man with skills to score under the basket for a long time. He would provide offensive punch inside, and would require teams to defend Soriano opening the door for pitch outs for three point attempts.
The second name was Aaron Wheeler; the Johnnies would benefit from an athletic forward, particularly on defense and particularly when the schedule becomes challenging.
