St. John’s landed a commitment from Missouri State transfer Ron Mvouika on Tuesday morning.
Mvouika announced his decision on twitter.
As a junior with the Bears, Mvouika averaged 6.8 points in 18 minutes, shooting 39.7 percent from three, but due to a back injury this past season, he only managed to play in two games. Having spent his first two seasons at a Junior College in Wyoming, Mvouika will be eligible immediately for the 2015-16 season as a graduate transfer.
Mvouika, who hails from Paris, is a bigger guard at 6-foot-6, but he can play both back court positions. With D’angelo Harrison, Phil Greene and Jamal Branch graduating this year, adding a bit of versatility in the back court is important for Chris Mullin.

Yet you fawn over Jevon Thomas' inferior numbers (who hasn't even committed to us)....interesting
Like any newly hired coach, Mullin gets a bit of a recruiting pass in the spring prior to his first season. Right now he's trying to ensure that he has enough bodies to field a team. With that in mind, adding a veteran player for one year isn't a bad thing.
You can start assessing Mullin's actual recruiting next year. Right now he and his staff are mainly building relationships between student-athletes and St. John's, and doing so aggressively. He seems to be going about things the right way.
