St. John’s running out of players as Chris Obekpa transfers

St John’s frontline has gone from thin to almost nonexistent.

Shot-blocking specialist Chris Obekpa was granted his release on Thursday, a source told The Post, just a few weeks after sophomore forward JaKarr Sampson declared for the draft.

It leaves the Johnnies with seven scholarship players with forwards Orlando Sanchez and God’sgift Achiuwa and guard Marco Bourgault graduating in May and no incoming recruits.

I wouldn't mind landing Obekpa. :noidea:

A shot blocker like him would look awfully good anchoring the zone.
