Those 2 SEC squads will compete with Memphis, Texas Tech, Dayton, Ohio State, Oregon, Georgia Tech, Samford and UCLA for Figueroa’s services. Other schools may enter the mix, too. He just finished his second season at St. John’s, so he’ll likely have to sit out a year and then have 2 years of eligibility remaining.
Figueroa appeared in 32 games for the Red Storm this past season, starting all of them. He averaged 14.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.9 steals per contest.
