Kadary Richmond, a highly regarded basketball player, has committed to St. John's University, significantly boosting the team's prospects under coach Rick Pitino. Richmond, along with Deivon Smith and other notable transfers, has been pivotal in forming what Pitino describes as a 'dream backcourt'. This strategic acquisition places St. John's near the top of the Big East rankings, closely behind UConn. The commitment was highlighted as a major gain for Pitino, who has successfully assembled a top-five transfer class, including players ranked 7th and 21st by The Athletic, and a top-60 freshman. Richmond's versatility makes him a perfect fit for Pitino's system, adding significant value to the team.

Secondly, Kadary Richmond is a player I admired so much in the Big East. Heβs a great jump shot away from playing for the Knicks. Awesome talent and we are so excited to have him. Sim, Deivon, and now Kadary, along with our young talents, is a dream backcourt. Let's Go Johnnies!
Rick Pitino has got some DUDES now. From @TheAthletic's transfer rankings, he's landed No. 7 Kadary Richmond and No. 21 Deivon Smith + four-star (per 247) transfers Aaron Scott and Vincent Iwuchukwu. Got a top-five transfer class and a top-60 freshman coming in. https://t.co/WkcAYyWwkt

Kadary Richmond, in my opinion, the best player who has entered the portal all off season commits to... St Johns, per @DraftExpress. MEGA commit for Rick Pitino who vaults St John's near the top of the Big East next year, behind UConn. Say it with me now.... BIG. RICK. ENERGY. https://t.co/ZWD1d990nI
