St. John’s hosts Miami transfer Bensley Joseph; Cliff Omoruyi still on the radar
By ADAM ZAGORIA
St. John’s hosted Miami transfer Bensley Joseph on an overnight visit starting Sunday.
The 6-foot-2 Arlington, VA native averaged 9.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists in his third season at Miami. He was recently ranked the No. 10 point guard in the portal.
“My visit went great, their message was great and I’m really enjoying my visit here,” Joseph said Monday by text.
St. John’s will lose point guard Daniss Jenkins, the team’s best player, but is expected to return freshman point guard Simeon Wilcher, who flashed his skillset towards the end of the season, including a 12-point game against DePaul on March 5.
Wilcher’s former Roselle (NJ) Catholic teammate Cliff Omoruyi also remains on the St. John’s radar.
