St. John’s Inks Marvin Clark Jr
He's a transfer from Michigan State
The St. John’s men’s basketball program has signed Michigan State transfer Marvin Clark Jr. (Kansas City, Mo.). The 6-foot-6 forward comes to Queens after two seasons where he played in 69 games for the Spartans. Clark must complete one full year of academic residency before suiting up for the Red Storm.
“We are glad Marvin has decided to join our basketball family,” said St. John’s Head Coach Chris Mullin. “He’s an experienced player with size, athleticism and a solid skill set. Marvin is a good fit for our program and we believe he will transition well into our style of play.”
Clark averaged 4.2 points on 51.9 percent shooting and 2.3 rebounds over his two-year career at Michigan State. He made eight starts for the Spartans and blocked 23 shots to go with 17 steals. As a freshman in 2014-15, Clark set a Spartan freshman record by playing in all 39 games during Michigan State’s run to the Final Four. Clark drained 21 3-pointers that season and in seven starts he elevated his averages to 8.7 points and 3.4 rebounds per game.
“I had an immediate connection with Coach Mullin and the coaching staff,” said Clark. “I feel extremely comfortable moving forward at a place where I can be an integral part of the future success of the program.
