Scottie Lewis and Bryan Antoine, the Class of 2019 stars from Team Rio and the Ranney (N.J.) School, took an unofficial visit to St. John’s on Monday and have more college trips scheduled in the coming weeks.
The 6-foot-5 Lewis and the 6-5 Antoine visited the Queens campus with teammates Alex Klatsky and Jalen Gaffney. St. John’s has offered Lewis, Antoine and Gaffney, and has interest in Klatsky.
“The St. John’s visit was a great experience for the boys,” Team Rio director Brian Klatsky told SNY.tv. “The message was clear that the staff is passionate about revitalizing college basketball in New York City. They really enjoyed learning about the history of the program and the future possibilities.”
Klatsky added that “the boys will visit Rutgers, Seton Hall, Colgate and UConn in August” and will then trip to Florida (Sept. 10) and Duke (TBD).”
Meantime, Lewis will participate in the Under Armour Elite 24 Slam Dunk Contest on Aug. 20 in Brooklyn, while Antoine will shoot in the 3-point Contest.
