St. John’s forward Aaron Wheeler will not return to the Red Storm for his final year of eligibility, he confirmed Tuesday in a post on social media.
The 6-9 forward averaged 10.0 points and 4.7 rebounds and shot 38.5% on three-point attempts this season after transferring from Purdue.
He appears likely to pursue professional options as he has not placed his name in the transfer portal.
