St. John's Obekpa now would like to remain
Student center Chris Obekpa has actually had a change of heart and wants to go back to St. John's.
Train Steve Lavin is currently while driving recruiting, but is expected to meet with Obekpa later on this week.
Obekpa requested and was granted a launch to move to an additional institution less than two weeks ago. It was a big impact to the Red Storm, that were already handling the very early departure of onward Jakarr Sampson.
Sampson, the partner's second-leading scorer and leading rebounder this past period, is getting in the NBA draft.
Obekpa, a fellow sophomore, averaged 3.8 facts and 4.8 rebounds each video game in 2013-14. Yet he was 19th in the nation in blocked treatments each game (2.9), after leading the country because group as a freshman (4.0). He is currently St. John's all-time leader in blocks, with 227.

Losing both Sampson and Obekpa would certainly leave St. John's perilously slim in the front court as things stand heading into next season.
There are no warranties Obekpa will rate back to the Red Tornado. The choice lies in Lavin's hands.
St. John's is coming off a frustrating 2013-14 season, where the team failed to make the NCAA competition for the 3rd year in a row.
