St. John’s received some good news this evening: Mustapha Heron, a talented scorer for the SEC regular-season champion Auburn Tigers, has chosen to transfer to St. John’s during his official visit, which started today.
He will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Mustapha Heron made it clear being closer to ill mother was the overriding factor in leaving Auburn. Said he opted St. John's b/c of familiarity with staff, the conference, and playing for NBA Hall of Famers. #sjubb
