St. John's new sharpshooter Imran Suljanovic hits visa snag
Access the St. John's beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Zach Braziller about the inside buzz on St. John's. TRY IT NOW Imran Suljanovic, the sharpshooting wing from Austria, isn't expected to arrive with his new teammates for the start of summer workouts later this month. That's because of new visa rules enacted by the United States government. All new student visa applications and interviews have been halted amid plans to implement a new policy that would require all students to have their social media reviewed before getting approved to attend their new school. 'The international guys have visa problems because Donald Trump has put them on hold, getting visas,' coach Rick Pitino said Wednesday before throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at the Yankees-Guardian game in The Bronx. 'Imran's got some problems getting in [to the United States], but hopefully we will get him in.'

Breaking down St. John's blockbuster starting five after Ian Jackson addition
Access the St. John's beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting member-only features, including real-time texting with Zach Braziller about the inside buzz on St. John's. TRY IT NOW With the addition of North Carolina transfer Ian Jackson on Monday, St. John's has a potentially blockbuster starting five. Here's a look at the group: F Zuby Ejiofor (14.7 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 1.4 BPG) Lone returning starter will lead this team after emerging as one of the top two-way forwards in the country as a junior. Surrounded by considerably more shooting, teams won't be able to swarm Ejiofor in the paint nearly as much. Potential Big East Preseason Player of the Year. G Ian Jackson (11.9 PPG, 2.7 RPG, 39.5 3-point percentage) The gifted 6-foot-4 Bronx native and North Carolina transfer will have the ball in his hands from Day 1. The former McDonald's All-American and top 10 high school prospect has the talent to be St. John's first first-round draft pick since Maurice Harkless (15th overall) in 2012.
