    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.

    Auburn’s Mustapha Heron was not invited to next week’s NBA Draft Combine, but he’s making the most of the NBA workouts he does have.

    The 6-foot-5 Waterbury, Conn., native worked out this weekend for the Brooklyn Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers.

    “I just came back from the Cavs today,” Heron said Saturday by phone. “I feel it went pretty well.”

    The 6-foot-5, 217-pound Heron was joined at the Cavs workout by St. John’s Shamorie Ponds, Villanova’s Omari Spellman and USC’s De’Anthony Melton.
