Melvin Council Jr. transferring: 5 possible landing spots
St. John鈥檚 Red Storm
Council Jr.鈥檚 entire basketball career has come within his home state of New York, so perhaps a move up to one of the premier teams in the state that is on the rise under head coach Rick Pitino is in order. One of St. John鈥檚 biggest needs through the portal this offseason was adding a quality big man, something Pitino has already addressed by bringing in Vincent Iwuchukwu. However, St. John鈥檚 could also use some reinforcements in the backcourt with Daniss Jenkins, Nahiem Alleyne and Sean Conway out of eligibility. While veteran guards Jordan Dingle and Chris Ledlum could return for another year, in addition to promising young guards RJ Luis Jr. and Simeon Wilcher, adding another veteran scorer to the roster like Council Jr. would give the Red Storm the additional depth they may need to reach the NCAA Tournament.
