St. John’s lands Portuguese star Rubin Prey
By ADAM ZAGORIA
Rubin Prey, the 6-foot-10 Portuguese star, committed to St. John’s on Tuesday evening, sources told ZAGSBLOG.
Red Storm head coach Rick Pitino pursued Prey a year ago, but the player decided not to attend an American college at the time and had to graduate high school.
Prey, 19, averaged 11.8 points and 7.1 rebounds in 16 games this past season for CB Prat. He also played for Spanish club Joventus Badalona, averaging about 3 points and 3 rebounds in about 10 minutes per game.
“He is the best player to come out of Portugal,” one source said. “Active and talented.”
St. John’s already has one international player committed for 2024-25 in Greek guard Lefteris Liotopoulos.
