St. John's freshmen forwards Norvel Pelle, Jakarr Sampson, and Amir Garrett have been ruled ineligible for the fall semester, which lasts until mid-December.
It's a tough blow for Steve Lavin not having a third of his mega recruiting class for the start of the season. I'd still keep an eye on the trio's status as there is a possibility they can become eligible this winter. In the meantime, God`s Gift Achiuwa and Maurice Harkless get an immediate boost with the Johnnies' sparse depth up front.
