Yankuba Sima, the 6’11” sophomore center from Spain, will transfer from St. John’s basketball. As a sophomore, he will have two years and a semester remaining at another NCAA institution, and should be eligible next December.
“I want to thank the coaching staff and the administration for all of their support since I arrived at St. John’s,” said Sima in a press release. “I enjoyed my experience at St. John’s, but right now I feel it is best for me to explore options that will be a better fit for me as I work toward my goals.”
“We wish Yankuba the best of luck,” said head coach Chris Mullin.
