*Rasheem Dunn (transferring to Robert Morris)
*Vince Cole (transferring)
*Isiah Moore (transferring to Southern Miss)
*David Caraher (transferring to High Point)
*Josh Roberts (transferring to Manhattan)
*Marcellus Earlington (transferring to San Diego)
*Greg Williams Jr (transferring to Louisiana-Lafayette)

RETURN
*Dylan Addae-Wusu
*Julian Champagnie
*Posh Alexander

IN
*Esahia Nyiwe (JuCo)
*Rafael Pinzon
*Drissa Traore
*Omar Stanley
*Stef Smith (grad transfer from Vermont)
*Aaron Wheeler (transfer from Purdue)
*Montez Mathis (transfer from Rutgers)

My 0.02:
The Johnnies had a decent season going 16-11 and finishing 4th in the league. I really like what I see out of Posh and I think he's a star in the making. Champagnie has always been an excellent player and he'll only continue to get better. Mike Anderson has a couple nice pieces to build around for the next few years. Though I'm not terribly impressed with this recruiting class. Anyway, Johnnies should be a competitive team next season!

Hard to get too excited for next year yet until all of this transfer-mania stops. If SJU is able to retain the “core 5” (Posh, Champagnie, Williams, Wusu and Earlington), then I think we’ll be ok. No indication that any of them are leaving but it’s a weird year so you never know.

A dream scenario would be Julian’s brother Justin ditches Pitt and comes to SJU to play with his brother for a year.

SJU needs Alexander and Champaigne to return that is their core.

They are. As is Wusu who was a nice freshman for us as well with some potential.

Honestly I could be totally wrong but I think those two JUCOs Cole/Moore are the only departures.

St John’s needs to play the free transfer market and find a big who can protect the rim and rebound. they probably need to find one extra shooter as well. But they aren’t far off from being a tournament team if they can fill out the roster around Champagnie and Posh

Was a good year, but for the first time in a long time there is an actual structure in place to continue to grow and succeed.

Champaigne declared to "test the NBA waters".

Should be noted: Smith has shot 42% from 3 in one season. Also lit us up for 17 pts last year when we lost to Vermont. He's an immediate upgrade over Dunn.
