  • PHILADELPHIA — Scottie Lewis and Bryan Antoine were on opposite teams on Wednesday night at Philadelphia University.

    On this night, the 6-foot-5 Lewis got the better of his Ranney School and Team Rio teammate by burying a game-winning three-pointer in the final seconds for a 61-58 victory at the Under Armour All-America Camp. They estimated the last time they played against one another in a competitive game was in seventh grade.

    “It’s always fun to play against Bryan,” Lewis said with his trademark smile. “He’s one of those guys that is true competition because we know each other’s games so well.”

    The shot came in front of a Who’s Who of head and assistant coaches, including Kentucky’s John Calipari and Tony Barbee, Kansas’ Bill Self and Norm Roberts, UNC’s Roy Williams and Brad Frederick, Duke’s Jeff Capel and Jon Scheyer, UCLA’s Steve Alford and David Grace, Notre Dame’s Mike Brey, Villanova’s Jay Wright, Louisville’s Kenny Johnson, St. John’s Matt Abdelmassih and many more.

    Bryan Antoine and Scottie Lewis, the Class of 2019 stars from the Ranney (N.J.) School and the Team Rio AAU program, visited St. John’s Wednesday alongside many of their Rio teammates.

    One 2020 NBA Mock Draft has Lewis as the No. 4 pick and Antoine as the No. 10 pick. They are ranked Nos. 12 and 13, respectively, on the 2019 ESPN 60.

    The Rio group included Jalen Gaffney, Alex Klatsky, Josh Alexander, Ahmadu Samor, Jake Glezen, Noah Farrakhan, Clarence Nadolny, Dwight Davis, Trey Patterson and Cartier Bowman. 

    This week will be a huge one on the recruiting front for St. John’s coach Chris Mullin and his staff as they look to rebuild the program going forward.

    Although the St. John’s Elite Camp was postponed due to facilities issues, Mullin and company will host a slew of big-time recruits beginning Wednesday.
