The St. John’s Red Storm received a batch of great news on Tuesday evening.
St. John’s and the rest of the Big East basketball world learned that Shamorie Ponds will indeed be back for the 2018-19 college hoops season. Ponds had previously entered the 2018 NBA Draft pool. However, after waiting until the day before the deadline, and after weighing his options, the New York native is balking on the chance to go pro and instead will play for the Johnnies in his junior year.
The news of Ponds’ return to St. John’s was first reported by Jon Rothstein.
