St. John’s on Monday announced the signing of guard Joson Sanon, who transferred from Arizona State after a promising freshman season.

Rick Pitino is off to a fast start as he looks to reload following St. John’s best season in 25 years. Four days after their season ended in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the Johnnies moved onto the offseason with a bang. The Red Storm landed a high-ceiling wing they believe will help them immediately next year.

Joson Sanon couldn't pass up the opportunity to play for one of college basketball's most prestigious coaches. The star freshman announced Wednesday he would leave ASU to play for Rick Pitino at St. John's, per ESPN. Sanon, a former top-25 recruit, said the opportunity to play for Pitino is what drew him to St. John's.
