"Pitino has led St. John's basketball to new heights in the Big East, turning the team into a formidable contender, especially after their NCAA Tournament run."
"The addition of Joson Sanon, a five-star prospect, highlighted St. John's strategy to enhance their roster through the transfer portal after a challenging postseason."

However, the announcement of Sanon's declaration for the 2025 NBA Draft now presents a challenge for Pitino as he seeks to fill this critical roster gap.
