The only thing missing was Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

“We need as much divine intervention as we can get,” cracked New York high school recruiting expert Tom Konchalski.

God’s Gift Achiuwa, a 6-foot-8 power forward from Nigeria, signed a Letter of Intent with St. John’s.

The Giants drafted cornerback Prince Amukamara out of Nebraska during the NFL Draft.

And the Jets selected defensive tackle Muhammad Wilkerson from Temple.

Achiuwa and Amukamara are both Nigerian.

God’s Gift has one older brother, Promise, and two younger brothers, God’s Will and Precious. He also has one older sister, Grace, and one younger sister, Peace.

If it’s not the greatest college basketball name ever — God Shammgod, Majestic and Scientific Mapp come to mind — God’s Gift is certainly right up there.

Next year at St. John’s, Achiuwa will team up with Sir’Dominic Pointer, a freshman from Detroit who has a twin sister named Miz’Unique.

“The St. John’s women’s team should recruit Miz’Unique,” Konchalski said.

Both Achiuwa and Pointer should jump to the top of the College Basketball All-Name Team for the 2011-12 season.

This year’s team, as comprised by Ballin’ is a Habit, included:

• Bracken Funk – Fresno State
• Ivory McGilvery – Texas Pam-Am
• Orion Outerbridge – Rhode Island
• An’Juan Wilderness – Charlotte
• Bak Bak – California
• Hippolyte Tsafack – Memphis
• Alibaba Odd – Delaware State

Amukamara’s grandfather was the king of Awo-Omamma in the Imo State of Nigeria, according to The New York Times. Prince’s father, Romanus, was once a chief, and Amukamara could have been next in line, but “a lot of stuff would have to come into play,” he told the Times. “I would basically have to live there to be chief, basically.”

Muhammad was a 240-pound freshman who left Temple after his junior season.

“He’s a young man who was an excellent player in college, but we think he has more to give,” Jets coach Rex Ryan told The Times.

And hopefully God, the Prince and Muhammad can give back to New York sports.

“Look how abysmally poor New York sports teams have been,” Konchalski said. “All I can say is that this is the only hope for New York sports. Overall, I think we need it.”

NEWARK — Herb Pope

Both play for teams in New Jersey.

And both had big games Saturday against opponents from Cincinnati.

So, who had the bigger win?

“Us, us, us. The Jets won? If this [comment] gets out, ‘Good job, Darrelle. Great game,’” Pope said after posting 14 points and 7 rebounds in Seton Hall’s 83-76 victory over Cincinnati (11-5, 2-2 Big East) at the Prudential Center.

Eric Mangini

Mangini, now the coach of the Cleveland Browns, traded the No. 5 pick in the NFL Draft to the Jets, who used it to select USC quarterback Mark Sanchez.

Watching the proceedings from California, Sanchez received a phone call from Jets GM Mike Tanenbaum. He immediately put on a Jets baseball cap just before NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the pick, and the Jets fans at Radio City Music Hall let out a mix of cheers and boos.

The 6-foot-2, 228-pound Sanchez makes perfect sense for the Jets, who are desperately in need of a marquee quarterback after Brett Favre retired in the wake of last season’s failure to make the playoffs.

“It’s the right place and it’s pretty special. I’m glad the family’s around,” Sanchez told ESPN. “I just felt so comfortable with their coaching staff. I love what Coach [Rex] Ryan’s doing on the defensive end and that’s what I’m used to, coming from SC with Coach [Pete] Carroll being a defensive-minded coach. A good defense and a solid running game like they have, that’s a quarterback’s best friend. And then that front offensive line look’s great already, so I can’t wait to meet that team.”

Sanchez threw for 3,965 passing yards and 41 TDs in 16 starts at Southern Cal. He will compete with Kellen Clemens, who shares the same agent as Sanchez.

“I met him before and he’s a great guy,” Sanchez said. “It’s going to be a competition and it’s going to be fun for both of us. In a quarterback competition only one guy can play. It’s different than other positions. But we’re used to that kind of stuff and we’re pros so we’ll handle it like that.”

In return for the pick, the Browns got a 2009 1st round pick (17th overall); a 2009 2nd-round pick; DE Kenyon Coleman; QB Brett Ratliff; and DB Abram Elam.

My colleague Jane McManus of The Journal News has penned an interesting column criticizing The Jets Flight Crew.

If I ever took my 4-year-old daughter to a Jets game (she’s already been to a Yankees game and a high school football game at Giants Stadium), I’m not sure how I’d feel about her seeing the Flight Crew or how I’d explain what they were doing at a football game.

What do you think?

Jay Glazer broke the news that the former Green Bay Packers QB has been traded to the Jets.

“I like going into New York, there’s great things to do there,” Rachel Nichols of ESPN reported Favre told her before the trade.

Truth is, the three-time NFL MVP will have better hunting opportunities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania than he would have had in Tampa.

This is a huge move for the Jets, and should make them an automatic contender in the AFC. Are the Jets suddenly the best team in New York, better still than the Super Bowl champion Giants?

It also means Chad Pennington or Kellen Clemens is out of work. Look for Pennington to be the odd man out.

“(Favre) is going to be a guy that’s coming and helping to save this organization,” ESPN football analyst Mark Schlereth said on ESPN.

“He still has an exceptionally strong arm, probably as strong as any quarterback in the National Football League. He’s still mobile, he can still move around, he can still get it done. Physically, there’s nothing that says to me…that he couldn’t play another one, two, three seasons, whatever he wants to play. It becomes a mental game…The great news about this switch is that it’s obvious that he’s felt underappreciated and unloved in Green Bay over the past two years.

“Just the feeling of love and acceptance and we really need you here to be part of a championship football team, that’s invigorating.

“I see him playing. I see him playing over the next couple of years and trying to help the Jets win a championship.”

The Jets open the season Sept. 7 at Miami.
