Cincinnati transfer Dillon Mitchell has committed to St. John’s, sources told ESPN, likely cementing the Red Storm as a preseason top-five team.
Mitchell, who visited St. John’s earlier this month, spent last season with the Bearcats after beginning his career with two seasons at Texas.
A 6-foot-8 forward, Mitchell was a top-five recruit and McDonald’s All American coming out of high school in 2022. He averaged 9.9 points and 6.9 rebounds for the Bearcats last season, shooting better than 61% from the field.
Mitchell is the fifth member of Rick Pitino’s elite portal class, joining Ian Jackson (North Carolina), Bryce Hopkins (Providence), Joson Sanon (Arizona State) and Oziyah Sellers (Stanford).
