JOEL SORIANO NEWS

Won't play Thursday Soriano will miss Thursday's game against Butler due to a positive COVID-19 test, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.

Impact Soriano is coming off of his best game in a bench role, posting 10 points, nine boards and four blocks against Pitt, but he won't get a chance to follow that up with another big effort Thursday following the positive test. His next chance to see the floor arrives Dec. 29 versus Marquette.

Defensive stalwart Soriano finished Saturday's 59-57 loss to Pittsburgh with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 29 minutes.

Impact Soriano recorded four blocks in a game for the third time in his career. His almost double-double was paired with his best offensive performance since moving to a bench role four games ago. Through his last four appearances, the junior has averaged 4.5 points and seven rebounds through 17 minutes.

Sniffs double-double in win Soriano accumulated 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Saturday's 77-68 OT victory over NJIT.

Impact Soriano tied his career-high in points and had his best offensive night since transferring. He has shown a massive improvement in his free-throw shooting this season, and it was on full display when he went to the line in overtime to complete a three-point play. He has made 83.3 percent of his free throws this season with St. John's, whereas he made just 58.1 percent during his time with Fordham. The junior has averaged 8.8 points, six rebounds and 1.2 assists through the first six games this season.

Easy scoring in St. John's debut Soriano had 17 points (6-6 FG, 5-7 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes in Wednesday's 107-43 exhibition victory over DIII Baruch.

Impact It was reported earlier this offseason that the 6-11 Fordham transfer would start at center for St. John's this year, and Soriano did just that in what was essentially a warm-up exhibition. He casually recorded more points than minutes played in what was a perfect day from the field, and certainly looked the part of a high-major fantasy asset. Without any additional, official exhibition games on the schedule, St. John's will next take the court in the home opener Nov. 9 against Mississippi Valley State.

Slated to start at center Soriano is in line to start at center for St. John's in 2021-22, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Soriano has reportedly shed 22 pounds from his frame since joining the team as a transfer from Fordham, where he averaged 10.4 points and 92 rebounds over 26 minutes per game a season ago. The lost weight could help him stay on the floor for longer periods of time and figures to help with mobility moving forward.

Third double-double of season Soriano had 12 points (6-9 FG), 10 rebounds, an assist and a block Wednesday against St. Bonaventure.

Impact It's his third double-double of the year (in five outings), and the fourth time he's pulled down at least 10 boards. Soriano is far and away the most appealing Fordham option for fantasy purposes, as he's a nightly double-double threat with center eligibility. He just needs to stay on the court, having committed 14 fouls over his last three games, playing a combined 34 minutes in his last two outings.
