How St. John’s is refining its high school recruiting strategy in the transfer-portal era

It wouldn’t be accurate to call this a new recruiting philosophy. More like tweaking the current one.

So while St. John’s still plans to be a major player every spring when it comes to the transfer portal, it also wants to bring in a few talented high school prospects each year as well.

Hence, the involvement in the recruiting of two major ones: Adam Oumiddoch and Kaden House, a pair of four-star, top-50 guards.

Oumiddoch will visit this weekend, and House is set to come to New York City the first weekend of the regular season, taking in the highly anticipated showdown against Alabama at the Garden on Nov. 8.
