Mustapha Heron to transfer closer to home; St. John’s a possibility?

Mustapha Heron, a 6’5” former five-star recruit from Connecticut, is looking to move closer to home — and according to Zagsblog, is seeking a medical hardship waiver to be immediately eligible in 2018-19.

You might wonder how this concerns St. John’s basketball.

Heron, a talented scorer who led the Auburn Tigers two years in a row in scoring, is rumored to be considering St. John’s, who have one scholarship available after Boubacar Diakite’s recent departure.

Mustapha Heron had declared for the draft as Shamorie Ponds — without an agent — but Heron had stated an interest in signing with an agent anyway.
