Big man Chris Obekpa wants to return to St. John’s, according to ESPN.
Obekpa asked for and was granted a release to transfer to another school less than two weeks ago. It was a big blow to the Red Storm, who were already dealing with the early departure of forward Jakarr Sampson.
Sampson, the team's second-leading scorer and leading rebounder this past season, is entering the NBA draft.
Obekpa, a fellow sophomore, averaged 3.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in 2013-14. But he was 19th in the country in blocked shots per game (2.9), after leading the nation in that category as a freshman (4.0). He is already St. John's all-time leader in blocks, with 227.
