Reed Bailey Joins St. John's on Fifth Eligibility | College Basketball News

Reed Bailey, a dynamic forward who averaged over eight points for Indiana last season and starred at Davidson before that, is transferring to St. John’s — despite initially entering the portal with a “do not contact” tag. The move fits perfectly into Coach Rick Pitino’s rebuilding effort, as St. John’s returns to elite form after winning the Big East and reaching the Sweet Sixteen last year. What makes this transfer even more explosive? A recent federal court ruling grants athletes from the 2022 class an extra year of eligibility — including Bailey, along with stars like Jaxon Kohler and Donovan Dent. This legal shift is reshaping college basketball, giving players a second chance to compete and forcing teams to adapt in real time.
