Sophomore guard Mustapha Heron has obtained his release from Auburn and will take an official visit to St. John’s beginning Thursday morning, he told ZAGSBLOG.
Heron is also tentatively slated to visit Boston College and Fairfield over the weekend.
Heron withdrew his name from the NBA Draft on Tuesday with the intentions of transferring closer to home.
The 6-foot-5 Waterbury, Conn., native is looking to transfer to a school closer to his ailing mother who suffered a massive concussion, his father told ZAGSBLOG on Tuesday. He will apply for a hardship waiver to be immediately eligible for the 2018-19 season at his new school.
