St. John’s has one distinct need this offseason: a big man.

Ian Steere became the second forward from the Queens school to enter the transfer portal on Saturday, joining Damien Sears, according to a source. The departure of the 6-foot-9 sophomore opens up a scholarship for coach Mike Anderson and his staff.

The talented yet enigmatic Steere was supposed to be a contributor, but appeared in just six games. He also was suspended in early February for his inability to “meet standards expected from a member of our basketball program,” but was reinstated in early March.

Sophomore Josh Roberts, coming off shoulder surgery to repair a torn ligament, and incoming junior college recruit Isaih Moore now are the only big men on next year’s roster.
