Josiah Turner, once regarded as one of the top two point guards in the country, is considering transferring to St. John’s.

Turner is leaving Arizona after averaging 6.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists during his freshman season.

The 6-foot-3 guard will have to sit out a year due to NCAA transfer rules.

Josiah Turner has decided to leave Arizona and will transfer to another school.

"I learned a lot in my year at Arizona and would like to thank my coaches, teammates and the fans for all of their support," Turner said in a statement.

Turner, who averaged 6.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 29 games, has not decided which school he will attend next.

He was a top-20 overall prospect in the class of 2011.

Junior college power forward Matt Korcheck has committed to Arizona's 2012 class.

Korcheck averaged 14.7 points and 6.5 rebounds for Cochise College and is seeking to redshirt the 2012-13 season.

A redshirt season “is definitely appropriate for him and he wants to do it,” Cochise coach Jerry Carrillo said. “Matt would not come to Arizona if they didn’t commit to a redshirt season.”
