5-Star F Malachi Jordan Commits to St. John’s
Malachi Jordan chose St. John’s over Kansas and Vanderbilt, giving Rick Pitino the program’s highest-ranked recruit since 2023, ESPN reported.
- On Tuesday, five-star forward Malachi Jordan committed to St. John's, becoming head coach Rick Pitino's highest-ranked recruit since taking over the Red Storm in March 2023.
- Pitino, who previously prioritized the transfer portal, shifted his recruiting strategy toward high school prospects after St. John's entered Jordan's recruitment late a few weeks ago.
- Ranked No. 20 nationally in the Class of 2027, the 6-foot-6 wing from Prolific Prep averaged 8.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks recently. "Coach Pitino has a rich history of developing players," Jordan said.
- Securing the commitment over finalists Kansas Jayhawks, Vanderbilt Commodores, and Tennessee Volunteers marks a significant victory; Jordan becomes the program's first top-25 recruit since Rysheed Jordan in 2013.
- The Red Storm landed Jordan as their first commitment in the 2027 class, marking the program's first ranked commitment since Jaiden Glover joined in 2024.
