As expected Ponds announced he would be staying home to attend St. John’s. Ponds becomes Chris Mullin’s first top-50 recruit. Possibly more important than that is the fact that he is the first top NYC recruit Mullin has convinced to stay home and play for the hometown Red Storm. Mullin is hoping to convince Rawle Alkins to do the same. Ponds visited Creighton, St. John’s and Providence before deciding to commit. His commitment gives the Big East their 6th 4-star recruit to go along with 1 5-star pledge in the class of 2016 and he is the second highest ranked prospect committed to a Big East program so far for 2016 behind Villanova pledge Omari Spellman, according to 247sports.com.

Heading into this campaign there was expected hype around Dunn. He has been named to some preseason All-American teams by various publications and is likely to be the coaches’ pick for preseason Big East Player of the Year at the league’s media day in mid-October. One of the publications that included him on their First Team All-American squad was the famed Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook. On Tuesday their editor-in-chief Chris Dortch announced they would be naming Dunn as their Preseason National Player of the Year when the 35th anniversary edition of Blue Ribbon in a few weeks.
