Iona lands Class of 2024 guard Jojo Wallace

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Jojo Wallace, a 6-foot-4 scoring guard from South Kent School (CT), committed to Iona on Sunday.

Wallace is the son of former Knicks and Syracuse forward John Wallace.

“JoJo Wallace is a scoring machine,” South Kent coach Raphael Chillious told ZAGSBLOG. “He has the ability to score from all three levels and is deceptively explosive. He’s at his best attacking downhill in transition. He’s extremely crafty and can finish equally well with either hand. He comes with great pedigree as he is the son of Syracuse Hall of Famer John Wallace.

Iona will sign three Class of 2024 recruits this week in Wallace, forward Jacob Hogarth of South Kent and point guard Justin Menard of St. Thomas More.
