St. John’s basketball continues to scower the transfer market with a defensive star.

Head coach Mike Anderson clearly knows what he wants in a guard and the St. John’s basketball team has its eyes on a local product that is one of the best defenders in the country.

Tyson Walker, a transfer from Northeastern, has heard from the Johnnies since entering the transfer portal.

Walker, a Westbury, New York native, was named to the CAA All-Rookie Team in his freshman season with the Huskies and was named as the CAA Defensive Player of the Year as a sophomore.
