St. John’s star Zuby Ejiofor makes decision on future

By ADAM ZAGORIA

St. John’s big man Zuby Ejiofor has made a decision on his future.

The 6-foot-9 junior from Garland, Texas will return to St. John’s next season on a new NIL deal and will pursue more championships instead of trying to test the NBA Draft waters, his dad confirmed to ZAGSBLOG. St. John’s coach Rick Pitino said all along that Ejiofor would return next season.

“His goal is to win the Big East, the Big East Tournament and make a deeper run in March,” said Andy Philachack, Ejifor’s dad.
