After what felt like an eternity of waiting for St. John’s basketball fans, multiple sources reported Tuesday evening that star guard Shamorie Ponds will return to Queens for his junior year.
As a sophomore in 2017–18, Ponds averaged 21 points and has scored over 1,000 points for the Red Storm in just two years. Against Marquette, the Brooklyn native put up a career-high 44 points, shattering a school record for the most points scored by a St. John’s player at Carnesecca Arena.
