Rick Pitino is still looking for his first commitment, and it won’t be his best player from Iona University.
Walter Clayton Jr., the MAAC Player of the Year Pitino developed into a two-way difference-maker in two seasons, has opted not to follow his coach to Queens, he told The Post.
The 6-foot-2 guard took official visits to both schools and settled on Florida, a two-hour drive from his home in Lake Wales, Fla. “My feelings shifted over these past couple of weeks. Every time I would try to put my mind on St. John’s, my feelings shifted to Florida.”He developed into one of the best mid-major guards in the country this past season, averaging 16.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists, while helping the Gaels reach the NCAA Tournament.He led the nation in free-throw shooting at 95.3 percent and shot a robust 43.1 percent from 3-point range.
“At the beginning of this process, he just told me, ‘It’s what you feel. Don’t go against what you feel,’” Clayton said of Jenkins. “I really wish we could be together next year, honestly.”Rick Pitino and Walter Clayton during the NCAA Tournament.While St. John’s has yet to land a new player since Pitino took over, and currently only has three players — Joel Soriano, Drissa Traore and Mohamed Keita — who are set to return, that didn’t impact Clayton’s decision.
