Top-50 national recruit Adam Oumiddoch (Class of 2026, 6′5 SG, Overtime Elite) has chosen the Red Storm over major programs like Villanova Wildcats, LSU Tigers, Oregon Ducks and Illinois Fighting Illini.
A skilled shooter and crafty scorer, Oumiddoch averaged 17.1 points per game with OTE, showcasing a refined handle, soft touch, and an ability to make plays. At 6′5 with legit size for the wing, he fits the mold of a modern perimeter threat who can stretch defenses and knock in jumpers off the catch or off the bounce.
For St. John’s, landing Oumiddoch would signal a renewed emphasis on high-school recruiting alongside their portal acquisitions—marking a potential shift in strategy under Coach Rick Pitino’s direction.
