Rick Pitino's St. John's loses backup center Vince Iwuchukwu to transfer portal
Briefly

Vince Iwuchukwu, the backup center for St. John's, has entered the transfer portal after a season with limited playing time, averaging just 7.2 minutes per game and lower statistics compared to his previous performance at USC. His scoring and rebounding numbers significantly dropped, and he found little success during the NCAA Tournament. Conversely, head coach Rick Pitino has successfully recruited four new players through the transfer portal, including Ian Jackson, to strengthen the team's roster following recent player losses.
Vince Iwuchukwu's time with St. John's was marked by limited playing opportunities, leading him to enter the transfer portal after averaging just 2.7 points per game.
Iwuchukwu struggled to secure significant playing time under Rick Pitino, which caused his stats to decline sharply compared to his previous season at USC.
Despite the loss of Iwuchukwu, Rick Pitino added new talent to St. John's roster from the transfer portal, including four key players to enhance the team's competitiveness.
Ian Jackson's addition from North Carolina is seen as a promising move in revitalizing St. John's backcourt, especially after the recent player departures.
