Rick Pitino and St. John’s kept their portal momentum going by adding another point guard.
Dylan Darling, a 6-foot-1 sophomore from Idaho State, transferred to the Red Storm, as first reported by Joe Tipton.
“We need two guards,” Pitino said at the Final Four. “We got to bring in two guards, but we need a point guard.”
Darling averaged 19.8 points, 5.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds last season while shooting 44% from the field and 36% from deep.
“I loved Dylan Darling’s workout at St. John’s,” said 2024-25 National Coach of the Year Rick Pitino. “[Dylan is a] hard worker and talented point guard. Love his PHD [Passionate, Hungry and Driven]. It is exactly what our culture is all about.”
He joins transfers Ian Jackson (UNC), Oziyah Sellers (Stanford), Dillon Mitchell (Cincinnati), Bryce Hopkins (Providence) and Joson Sanon (Arizona State) in the No. 1 portal class in the nation and gives the Johnnies a true point guard. Austrian wing Imran Suljanovic also joins as a freshman.
