On Tuesday, former Auburn basketball player Mustapha Heron had a change of plans when he decided to not enter the NBA Draft and instead transfer to a different school. Two days later, the 6-5 guard has found his new home.
Heron committed to St. John’s on Thursday after visiting the school earlier in the day. According to ZAGSBLOG's Adam Zagoria, the Waterbury, Connecticut, native is transferring closer to home to be near his mother, who suffered a massive concussion. Heron plans to apply for a hardship waiver to be immediately eligible with the Red Storm for the 2018-2019 season.
