Dylan Darling, who emerged as a headline performer during St. John’s NCAA tournament run, entered the transfer portal Tuesday, according to sources.
The decision came just hours after the Red Storm landed highly touted European point guard Quinn Ellis, adding a significant piece to the program’s backcourt picture.
What it means for St. John’s
Darling’s entry into the portal marks a notable development for a St. John’s team coming off a postseason stretch that elevated its profile nationally. His tournament impact made him one of the most visible contributors from the Red Storm’s run, and his availability now shifts his immediate future to the transfer market.
Ellis’ arrival, meanwhile, represents a major addition at point guard for St. John’s, arriving the same day as Darling’s portal move. Together, the two developments underscore the rapid roster movement that often follows the conclusion of the NCAA tournament, as programs balance incoming talent with outgoing departures.
