Zuby Ejiofor didn’t get to this part of his career by accident. It took a lot of hard work, total buy-in, and an unrelenting attitude that has resulted in being named as the preseason Big East Player of the Year entering his final season of college basketball.
As the seldom used big man at Kansas was looking for a home following his freshman season, there was no better partnership than Rick Pitino and St. John’s.
When Ejiofor signed with the Red Storm it was in a backup role, but it allowed him the proper time to develop under Pitino and become a cornerstone for the program’s renaissance.
