St. John’s snags Big Sky MVP Dylan Darling in latest transfer portal coup

St. John’s has landed yet another player in the transfer portal as it continues to build its roster for next season.

Point guard Dylan Darling has committed to playing at St. John’s next season, he announced in a post on Instagram late Thursday night after spending last season at Idaho State.

Darling was one of the top scorers in the Big Sky Conference — averaging 19.8 points and 5.7 assists per game — and was named conference Most Valuable Player last season while playing for the Bengals.
