St. John’s Red Storm

St. John’s Red Storm continues to struggle and the road ahead will not get any easier. St. John’s is currently second to the last in their conference with a 3-11 record. They need to make big adjustments if they are to climb out of their hole. LJ Figueroa will be at the helm of their offensive anew with other players needing to step up. Mustapha Heron is out for the season, something that will cripple the Red Storm attack. Their defense needs improvement as well. It was something that Seton Hall took advantage of and the Wildcats are likely going to do the same.
