The addition of Cleveland State transfer Rasheem Dunn looks even more important now for St. John’s. Guard Eli Wright has entered his name into the transfer portal, a source confirmed, despite never appearing in a game for the Red Storm.

Wright, a former four-star recruit, sat out last year after transferring in from Mississippi State, and now it looks like he’ll be on the move again. The 6-foot-4 Wright’s departure opens up a scholarship for new coach Mike Anderson. A source said it wasn’t a good fit for either party, and so Wright, a holdover from the Chris Mullin era, opted to move on.

St. John’s would like to fill the open scholarship with a big man if possible, but will target the best available player, sources said. The Red Storm are hopeful Dunn, a Brooklyn native who can play both on and off the ball, can get a waiver to play immediately after sitting out himself last year. Dunn opted to transfer when Cleveland State coach Dennis Felton was fired in June and picked St. John’s last Friday over Siena, Arkansas and George Mason, among others.
