The St. John’s basketball program is staying busy on the recruiting trail in the summer months.
As NCAA recruiting restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic have been lifted, life is getting back to normal on the recruiting trail for the St. John’s basketball program.
Head coach Mike Anderson and associate head coach Van Macon were in attendance over the weekend at the Philadelphia High School Showcase and the Johnnies extended three offers to players in the Class of 2023, Youssouf Singare, Isaiah Miranda, and Jean Aranguren.
College head coaches were allowed to have direct contact with Class of 2023 prospect on June 15 and the Johnnies have waisted no time introducing themselves to the rising junior class.
Singare is a 7-foot, 185-pound center out of Scottsdale, Arizona and stars at Upper Room Athletics (NY). He also picked up an offer from Seton Hall this weekend.

Jean Aranguren plays alongside Youssouf Singare at Upper Room Athletics.
None of the three players are ranked in the 247 Sports Composite Rankings.
