Providence transfer Bryce Hopkins has committed to Big East rival St. John’s, coach Rick Pitino confirmed Monday.

“We are so excited to have Bryce Hopkins part of our family,” Pitino tweeted Monday. “He epitomizes everything I love in a basketball player; Passionate, Hungry, and Driven. Can’t wait to work with him! Will become a great one for St John’s.”

The forward spent three seasons at Providence after playing his freshman year at Kentucky. However, knee injury issues have limited him to 17 total games over the past two seasons.

Hopkins tore the ACL in his left knee during a game on Jan. 3, 2024. He missed the rest of that campaign and the start of 2024-25. After returning on Dec. 3 and scoring 16, 16 and 19 points in three games, he suffered a bone bruise in the same knee.

In 50 games at Providence (all starts), he averaged 15.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game while shooting 44.2 percent from the field.

Hopkins is already the second transfer to sign with St. John’s, which was a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament but bowed out against Arkansas in the Round of 32. Joson Sanon, a guard from Arizona State who averaged 11.9 ppg as a freshman, previously committed to the Red Storm.
