After one year at Syracuse and three years at Seton Hall, Brooklyn native Kadary Richmond will return to the Big Apple – committing to join Rick Pitino and St. John’s for his final year of eligibility.
Richmond was widely considered the top available player in the transfer portal, coming off a season where he averaged 15.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 2.2 steals while shooting 46.8% on two pointers and 80.7% from the free throw line.
Richmond joins fellow newcomer Deivon Smith, a senior guard transfer from Utah, in what should be a very talented and new look backcourt for Pitino in his second season with the Red Storm.

Averaged 15.7 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 5.1 APG, and 2.2 SPG last season.
A seismic get for Rick Pitino and the Red Storm.

While Smith and Richmond are both incredibly talented, physical guards, the trio of them and returnee RJ Luis lacks consistent outside shooting which could be an issue for Pitino’s team if they don’t find other floor spacers to put around them next season.
Richmond becomes the fourth intraconference transfer in the Big East over the past two seasons, a list that includes Nahiem Alleyne, Posh Alexander, and Dylan Addae-Wusu.
