There was some surprising news out of St. John’s last Friday, when it was announced that 6’11 sophomore center Yankuba Sima was transferring from the program mid-season. Chris Mullin is off to a terrible start this season, as the Johnnies hold a 5-6 record and have lost to Old Dominion, Delaware State, and just yesterday, they fell to LIU-Brooklyn by 1 point. Losing Sima is definitely a blow, as the Spaniard was a solid contributor and had a lot of potential to develop into one of their best players.
The former 3-star recruit reportedly held offers from Baylor, Louisville, and Maryland coming out of high school, according to 247 Sports.
