Special thanks to former Head Coach @evcoachgator for spending his morning working out our players. It was great to have him back in the gym with us!



Grateful to have @ryan_thissen as an alumni! He took the time today to talk about his experience in the program as well as his collegiate career that led him to be the second leading scorer in St John’s history. “Are you invested or are you interested?”


We understand the importance of teamwork, unity, and selflessness on and off the court. It means putting the team’s goals ahead of personal glory, recognizing that success comes from collaboration, trust, and playing for each other. Season starts in 134 days!

These guys have been in the gym all summer getting better! Not only is their work ethic top notch, but they are all very coachable players!
10-0 in South of the River summer league! These guys have been putting the work in this off season.
Thankful for great alumni to lean on to come and give back to the program through their personal experiences!
Eastview 21’ graduate Henry Shannon was kind enough to stop by practice today to share and reflect on his HS career, recruiting process and all he learned along the way. Great to have the caliber of alumni we have on our program to share their wisdom with the next generation!

The last four teams in the playoffs: OKC - 0 championships MIN - 0 championships IND - 0 championships NYK - 2 championships (last in 1973) We’re going to witness a team winning a championship for the first time or for the first time in 52 years
The Timberwolves are the first Minnesota-based MLB, NBA, NFL or NHL team to be among the final 4 teams remaining in the playoffs 2 years in a row since the North Stars did so in 1980 & 1981.
