St. John’s Scores Big with Roster News After NCAA Exit
Alright, let’s talk about some big news coming out of St. John’s basketball. After a tough NCAA Tournament loss to Arkansas, the Red Storm are already gearing up for an even stronger season next year. And the biggest headline? Zuby Ejiofor is staying put.
Now, if you’re a St. John’s fan, this is exactly what you wanted to hear. Ejiofor, who had the chance to test the NBA Draft waters, made it clear—he’s not going anywhere. He announced his decision to return for his senior season, saying he has “unfinished business” with St. John’s and Coach Rick Pitino. That’s the kind of commitment and drive that gets fans excited.

Ejiofor’s impact on the team has been undeniable. He started his college career at Kansas, but over the past two seasons at St. John’s, he has grown into a dominant force. This past season, he played 31.8 minutes per game, averaging an impressive 14.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks. He was also the leading scorer in their tournament loss to Arkansas, putting up 23 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. That kind of performance makes him an essential piece for next season’s squad.
And he’s not alone. St. John’s also landed a huge transfer—five-star guard Josan Sanon from Arizona State. With Sanon’s scoring ability and Ejiofor’s inside presence, St. John’s is shaping up to be a serious contender in the Big East. There’s also buzz about other potential transfer additions, so this team could be even stronger by the time the new season tips off.
The Red Storm’s 2024-25 season was filled with promise, and despite falling short in the tournament, they’re proving they’re not done yet. With Ejiofor back in the mix and new talent coming in, St. John’s is sending a clear message—they’re ready to make a deep run next year.
So, get ready, Red Storm fans. This is just the beginning of what could be a special season for St. John’s basketball.
