The addition of Richmond addresses concerns about the team's performance in the transfer market, providing a positive outcome for both St. John’s and the player.

From tonights @AaronTorresPod: DJ Wagner is visiting Arkansas this weekend. Is his commitment a done deal?! Why I'm a believer, even after an up-and-down year. And what why he is a big, missing piece to John Calipari's first Arkansas roster HOP IN ⬇️ https://t.co/KJcR5ZOH0B
From tonight's @AaronTorresPod: Kentucky high school star Trent Noah has officially asked out of his Letter of Intent at South Carolina. Is it a done deal he comes to UK? And why he'd be the perfect piece for Mark Pope's rebuild if he does 👀👀 https://t.co/wR0mNlI0Yx

In the @StJohnsBBall release on Kadary Richmond, Rick Pitino says he now has "a dream backcourt.” https://t.co/8hXxA6socG
Secondly, Kadary Richmond is a player I admired so much in the Big East. He’s 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 to St. John's 👀🔥 "He's the absolutely perfect guard to be put into a Rick Pitino system. His length, his versatility... if I'm a Red Storm fan, I am FIRED UP right now" - @RobDauster INSTANT REACTION: https://t.co/stzH73i8os https://t.co/UjHX2Q6JIx
Long story short, Kadary salvages the offseason for a St. John’s program that was starting to be criticized for missing on some of the bigger names in the portal, and also gives the Red Storm another piece it needs to maintain its momentum. Win-win for both sides there. #sjubb
“Look, I love him as a player,” Pitino, the Naismith Hall of Fame St. John’s coach, told NJ Advance Media. “I think he’s the best passer I’ve seen in college in a long, long time, since probably the shades of Magic [Johnson]. He’s a great passer.” @RealPitino on Kadary Richmond https://t.co/8hXxA6sW2e
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
Harlan’s Trent Noah gets released from his South Carolina NIL agreement I expect Kentucky, Tennessee and Louisville to be involved here https://t.co/09g8QnxwZK
The @EyeOnCBBPodcast will be live on @YouTube at 8 CT/9 ET. We'll open on how John Calipari is building Arkansas' roster before also discussing what Scott Drew is putting together at Baylor. WATCH: https://t.co/39UfbMqnvp
Seton Hall’s current roster: Isaiah Coleman David Tubek Jahseem Felton (24 recruit) Godswill Erheriene (24 recruit) Prince Aligbe (BC transfer) Scotty Middleton (OSU transfer) Gus Yalden (Wisconsin transfer) Chaunce Jenkins (ODU transfer) Dylan Addae-Wusu TBD #shbb #HALLin
Kadary Richmond and Deivon Smith could potentially have a Russ Smith - Peyton Siva - type impact at @StJohnsBBall if Richmond ends up there More on @njdotcom https://t.co/ZKe5I4ekYL
Now, just because St. John’s picked up one point guard, it doesn’t necessarily preclude the Red Storm from passing on Kadary Richmond, as @AdamZagoria just tweeted. That sweepstakes is still very fluid, with several teams actively involved.
The Red Storm remain in pursuit of Seton Hall transfer guard Kadary Richmond, sources said. https://t.co/ixIwrQ7Tb3
