Posh Alexander to St. John’s

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Posh Alexander, the explosive 5-foot-11, 195-pound guard from Our Savior Lutheran and the NY Lightning AAU program, committed to St. John’s on Thursday.

Alexander also considered Seton Hall, Dayton, Illinois and Pitt. He is coach Mike Anderson’s first pledge in the Class of 2020.

“He’s a tough hard-nosed kid that plays both sides of the ball all out,” NY Lightning coach Dana Dingle said. “He’s willing to put it all on the line to win and is one of the toughest players and best defenders in the country.”

The highly explosive Alexander broke his arm in the third game of last season while playing against Prolific Prep on The Grind Session.

“I went up for a layup and a kid had hit me out the air,” he said in June. “And I come down, landed on my arm and it broke….I missed the whole season and I was out for like three months.”

Now he’s back, having played in several events this summer.

Alexander still needs to shed more weight after putting it on during the time he missed.

“I look kind of big,” he said in June. “I’m in the gym every day to lose weight. It’s going to be a process to lose weight and get back to how I used to play and just keep winning.”

At. St. John’s, he plans to be a “playmaker, handling the ball, giving up good passes, scoring when my team needs to me score and just being a leader.”
