St. John’s beats out top schools for explosive English point guard Quinn Ellis

St. John’s is on the board, and it has its point guard.

Quinn Ellis, an elite lead guard from overseas who has been playing in the EuroLeague, has committed to St. John’s, The Post has learned.

The 6-foot-5 Ellis, who hails from Sheffield, England, had a number of high-major offers. Duke, BYU, Louisville, Houston and Kentucky were among his suitors over the last month. Several power-conference schools watched him play in person during the season.

Entering the offseason, one of St. John’s major needs was finding a top-flight point guard, and it believes it has that in Ellis.
