St. John's will have full roster to open preseason after huge updates on Quinn Ellis, Keyshawn Hall

What's up, everyone? It's Zach Braziller here with the New York Post. St. John's season officially starts tomorrow. Exhibition opener against Drexel. And today, we got some news. News that's been eagerly awaited. Quinn Ellis, the highly regarded point guard from Britain, was cleared by the NCAA after weeks of waiting. Keyshawn Hall, his TRO, his temporary restraining order, was held intact after a hearing. we now wait um to see what the judge rules in terms of the injunction but good news St. John's will have its entire team eligible to play in the exhibition opener the Quinn Ellis news is big they really didn't have a big time point guard last year as well as Dylan Darling played Quinn Ellis is considered you know a guy who could be a top 20 player in the country and they don't have to go to court the NCAA gave him a year of eligibility so you have the big time point guard, to go with Ian Jackson, to go with Tunde Yessufu. Now you wait on Hall, you wait on Babacar Sane, but today was obviously a very good step in the right direction to getting this entire team eligible. For the Hall TRO, the NCAA was trying to get the TRO vacated, and the judge didn't see it that way. The judge kept it intact. So I think it's very positive news for Keyshawn Hall, high-scoring wing from Auburn. um you know he's one of these high a lot of these high school uh 2022 high school players who felt they deserved the fifth year of eligibility because the NCAA added this new rule in June saying five you know you now get five years but they didn't include last year's seniors so you have you know hundreds of guys across the country suing for that fifth year and Hall is hoping to get one they're hoping to get one Rick Pitino has told me he's might be the best offensive player um on this team so we'll see what happens here i I think it's very good positive development for Hall to get an injunction and you know we'll see where it goes from there but no matter what Quinn Else is eligible and it's going to give St John's a hell of a backcourt between him you know everything you hear in Ian Jackson has taken a major step forward Tunde Yessuf set the Baylor freshman scoring record record last year he was a guy who might have been a late first round pick and he stayed in the draft those three three guys have the chance to be as good of a trio on the perimeter as there is in the country now if you get Hall and Sane I think this is a team that could be probably gonna at least on paper would be the best team St John's has had in the Rick Tino era we'll obviously see what happens with with the court stuff with Hall and Sane but the headline today is Quinn Else is eligible St John's has point guard it's kind of and it's a sigh of relief tomorrow we get to see the new look team for the first time get Drexel then Sunday it's Rutgers and a week later it's Texas but you know it's today was uh definitely a step in the right direction and um we uh we see where all the the court stuff goes from there i'll uh see everyone tomorrow and uh can't wait for the season
