Here’s a few quick notes on former and current St. John’s players and a staff update:
**Former St. John’s point guard Rysheed Jordan plans to play overseas or in the NBA D-League, he told COBL.com.
“I don’t know yet. It’s either overseas or the D-League, two options,” Jordan told the site. “It depends whether I would prefer to go far or stay local.”
He said his decision will come “soon.”
Jordan added that he considered entering the 2015 NBA Draft but wasn’t able to make it happen.
“I was going to go into the ‘15 Draft, but it got too late,” he said. “I was iffy on if I was going back, and it came too late, and I didn’t go to take my finals.”
**German forward Richard Freudenberg visited St. John’s over the weekend and enjoyed it.
“The visit was great,” he told SNY.tv. “But it was an unofficial visit. The coaching staff is huge!! And they [are] getting more international!”
The 6-8 forward also visits BC Tuesday (today).
He averaged 5.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in the 2015 European U18 Championships.
**As previously reported, Shamorie Ponds will visit St. John’s Aug. 28-30. He also has trips to Providence and Minnesota planned. Before then, he will play in the Under Armour Elite 24 Game Aug. 22 in Brooklyn.
**Mitch Lightfoot, a 6-7 power forward from Arizona, will visit St. John’s Oct. 2-4, he told SNY.tv. He has other visits scheduled to Utah, Kansas and Arizona.
