Sean Conway – 6’5 – Guard – VMI
The more I write this article, the more I’m starting to believe that Rick Pitino got a hold of Kenny Payne’s recruiting board.
Make this the third player that Pitino has shown interest in after Louisville had reached out first.
After a great visit with Coach Pitino and the rest of the staff, I’m excited to announce I’m 100% committed to St. John’s University❗️🔴⚪️🔴⚪️

I’m not extremely upset to see Conway off the board. He had been trending away from Louisville for weeks now. And Conway, honestly, isn’t that great of an impact transfer. He’s a good shooter, and any team can use that, but I don’t think he would’ve been anything more than a depth wing piece for next year’s team.
With the need in the backcourt, this team can certainly use their remaining three scholarships in a better way. Last week, I ended this article hoping for a new commitment, and that didn’t happen.
But we do seem closer to actually signing somebody now that RJ Luis has taken a visit. A combination of Luis, Mgbako, and Cam Hayes would be an incredible way to round out this roster, and that is still very much a possibility.
As always, stay tuned for next week’s transfer portal update, where I’ll have the latest transfer portal news.
