Bryce Hopkins transferring: 5 landing spots for All-Big East forward
St. John鈥檚 Red Storm
St. John鈥檚 has struggled for most of the 21st century, but things have changed in Rick Pitino鈥檚 second season with the Red Storm. St. John鈥檚 has won over 30 games this season, claiming Big East regular-season and tournament championships while earning a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Pitino has drastically changed the program’s culture, making it a potentially desirable landing spot for a player like Hopkins. The Red Storm already have star power at forward led by Zuby Ejiofor, who could return for his senior season in 2025-26. Whether he does or not, St. John鈥檚 could benefit from additional frontcourt depth if it truly wants to contend for a national title. Playing for a title contender would likely intrigue Hopkins, and his familiarity with the Big East could make him a nice fit in New York.
