St. John's men's basketball has secured its first transfer portal addition with Donnie Freeman from Syracuse. Freeman, a 6-foot-9 forward from The Bahamas, averaged 15.3 points and 7.5 rebounds in two seasons with the Orange. He was considered a top recruit and was previously expected to join Kentucky, but St. John's made the highest offer and secured his commitment. Freeman is a versatile combo forward with NBA draft potential, but his health is a concern due to multiple lower-leg injuries. With Freeman's addition, St. John's now has seven scholarship players on their 2026-27 roster. The team is also targeting other transfers to fill their starting center position.
