Dillon Mitchell commits to St. John’s out of transfer portal
Mitchell might be coming to St. John’s at the right time. Fresh off a No. 2 seed and NCAA Tournament appearance, Rick Pitino is still kicking as head coach. However, he said he might be done in three to five years.
“I’m enjoying it now more than ever in my lifetime,” Pitino said via SNY. “Because it’s New York, it’s where I started, I’m back home. And I understand I’m going to be 73 years of age even though I act like I’m 35. But I realize I have three, five more years. Bang on some wood. So why not enjoy it? Why not have a blast? And why not try to be the best you possibly can be? So I have more passion, more hunger, more drive than ever before.”
St. John’s does appear to be the final destination after an illustrious career. Boston University, Providence, Kentucky, Louisville, and Iona have all employed Pitino as their head coach in the college game.
