This is a very big deal, as Figueroa was arguably the best player in the transfer portal. He had widespread interest from high-profile programs when he announced at the end of May that he intended to leave St. John’s. Figueroa was even considered a potential early entrant into the NBA Draft before he opted against it.
Figueroa averaged 14.5 points and 4.5 rebounds last season. He’ll be a key complementary piece for the Ducks, who should be Pac-12 contenders next season.
