Report: St. John's Rysheed Jordan could be academically ineligible

Former Roberts Vaux High basketball standout Rysheed Jordan could be ruled academically ineligible to play for St. John's this fall, according to a report by the New York Daily News.

The 6-foot-4 guard would be the team's leading returning scorer if he comes back for his junior season. He averaged 14.1 points and a team-high 3.1 assists last season.

According to the report, there is a chance that Jordan will not return to the team at all, although he is expected to meet with new St. John's coach Chris Mullin soon.

Despite inconsistent play at times last season, Jordan helped the Red Storm to their first NCAA tournament appearance in four years. He briefly lost his starting spot and also missed one game while dealing with a family matter.

Jordan, a three-time first-team all-Public League selection by league coaches, led now-closed Vaux to a Class A state title and was the consensus player of the year in the city as a senior.
