St. John’s continues to bring in strong outside shooters in coach Rick Pitino’s mission to address the program’s biggest weakness from last season.

On Tuesday, the Red Storm landed a commitment from 6-8 swingman Imran Suljanovic.

Pitino went to Italy earlier this month to watch the Austrian standout play. Suljanovic was in New York to visit the program in March.

“Was watching Imran on film and had to see him in person,” Pitino said in a social media post. “Traveled outside Bologna where he impressed me more with his overall game than what I watched on film. Shoots, passes, handles, and is extremely agile. Great potential!!! Very excited to have him join the Johnnies.”

Suljanovic is the fifth newcomer to the roster and so far the only true freshman. He will arrive with North Carolina transfer Ian Jackson, Arizona State transfer Joson Sanon, Stanford transfer Oziyah Sellers and Providence transfer Bryce Hopkins.

Suljanovic is the third European player on the roster, along with rising sophomores Ruben Prey and Lefteris Liotopoulos. Pitino and the Storm coaching staff have not been actively pursuing high school seniors in the United States for the coming season, though they did host blue chip point guard Acaden Lewis 10 days ago.

Pitino spent two seasons coaching Panathinaikos B.C. in Greece and has spoken glowingly of the European game. When asked about the difference between the European players and the American high schoolers at an April 9 appearance at Citi Field, he replied “Look at the NBA Draft — that tells you about international people. The 18-year-old internationally is much more mature than a high school senior.”

Suljanovic is with the 19-and-under team for Unahotels Reggio Emilia in Italy’s Serie A league. In February he played for the Austrian senior national team.
