US EditionBryce Hopkins commits to St. John's after three seasons at Providence
- Former Providence Friars forward Bryce Hopkins, jersey number 23, committed to St. John's, a Big East rival, on Monday.
- Hopkins, a 6-foot-7 Illinois native, transferred from Providence after knee injury issues limited his playing time over the past two seasons, following one season at Kentucky under coach John Calipari.
- Hopkins, who earned first-team All-Big East honors as a sophomore in 2023, tore his ACL on January 3, 2024, missed the rest of that season and the start of 2024-25, but returned on December 3, scoring 16 and 19 points in separate games before suffering a bone bruise and shutting down the season in late January.
- Rick Pitino confirmed Hopkins' commitment on Monday, tweeting, "We are so excited to have Bryce Hopkins part of our family," and describing him as passionate, hungry, and driven.
- Hopkins, one of the top-10 transfers in the portal, is the second transfer addition for St. John's this month, joining Arizona State guard Joson Sanon, who averaged 11.9 ppg as a freshman, as St. John's looks to remain in the national conversation after winning the Big East regular-season championship.
