Joel Soriano wants to leave college as a winner, as much for himself as for the fans and New York.
Where is St. John’s picked to finish in the Big East?The Yonkers native has spent his college career in the city, starting off at Fordham for two years before transferring to St. John’s, and has yet to reach the NCAA Tournament.
“They put so much into us. They are always there through our ups and downs. … Even when I wasn’t performing at my best, they were always there for me. I feel like I owe that to them. I play for the name on the front, not the back.”Soriano earned a preseason All-Big East First-Team nod after putting up 15.2 points and a league-leading 11.9 rebounds per game last season.“I’ll be more happy when I get it at the end of the year,” he said of the conference honor.
“The last eight days, Joel has dominated in practice,” Pitino told The Post. “Prior to that, we all felt that Zuby was starting against Rutgers. And then the week prior to that, Joel just made a big turn.”“It’s difficult for him,” Pitino added. “He’s not used to rim running every single possession and playing this type of defense. So, it’s just different for him. It’s not that he’s not willing to work. It’s just different.
The chance he would not be in the starting lineup was an “eye opener” for Soriano, who admitted he wasn’t performing in the first 10 practices, and Pitino gave him the perspective he needed.
