I know they're in the big east but no one talks about players from seton hall.

Honest question: in what world do recruits decommit from Georgetown to go to Seton Hall?

nothing surprises me anymore

Kansas has Graham, Newman and Thornton at PG/SG next year, I feel like Tremont would not get a whole lot of burn

Doesn't matter. Schools like Kansas seem to be able to recruit, and retain post-commitment, multiple guys of high caliber.

Only at UConn do our lead recruits get scared off by Christian Vital.

I know they're in the big east but no one talks about players from seton hall. they've had several good players over the years but you don't hear anything about them. Someone above stated that they have a crowded backcourt as well as kansas.

If he comes here with a good head on his shoulders and learns what needs to be done he'll have the keys next year with gilbert and vital (like bazz and boat) when adams is gone (if he busts out this year). he'll get a ton of time here .

Never seen either play but from the footage MAL looks like a larger guard who can get to the rim. Waters seems like a better all around player. Both are good talents

Whitehead left early and stuck in the league after the BE Tourney title. I think Waters is in an interesting place in his recruitment.

In what case does the best PG in the class of 2017 have SH as a legit player for his services?

He committed to play for JT3, Seton Hall doesn't have the history of G'Town but Willard has them playing a fun style of play where he lets his guards go. We need Waters more than the Hall does though.

I don't think you realize just how good SH will be next year if Delgado returns and they land Duval or even Waters. With Duval arguably the best team in the country. With Waters FF good. Cale is a stud.

 

[huskiesNhoos]

He didn't sign a LOI right? Can they put restrictions on where he commits like they do with transfers (I know they can't if he didn't sign a LOI)? Would stink for gtown to lose him then have to play him 2x a year

I was recently at Seton Hall with my kid who's being recruited in another sport. It was amazing how little their basketball program has accomplished. I think only two Big East Championships and the one player they honor all over their Hall of Fame as their best of all-time......Terry Dehere.......

Seton Hall FF or NC good? I don't know much about their squad, but I'll believe that when I see it.

Big East Men's Basketball Tournament - Wikipedia. Terry Dehere was a damn good college player. Big East player of the year and second all-time Big East scorer.

As your top player of all-time? Scoring records are overrated. If you are on a sucky team, you can put up a lot of points.

Breanna Stewart isn't the all-time leading scorer for the UCONN Women but won four national titles. Imagine how may points she would've scored if she was on a sucky team and the main threat?

Everything in perspective.

In the same world a player decommits from UConn to play at Providence.

Perspective being that, in his four years there, they were a 2, 3, and 4 seed, with a run to the E8 and S16. They won the BE regular season his junior and senior year, and the tournament title his sophomore and senior.

Those were good teams. And those were, no joke, only their 3rd, 4th, and 5th NCAA appearances.

Does anyone know if we are actually pushing for him?

Seton Hall was good when he was there, the Carlesimo years. He was Big East POY, 3 time Big East first team, conference tourny MVP, single season three point record holder, single season three point percentage holder. Not too many people had a better college career than him.

Yes...After harris writing on the wall we shifted toward water in the last week

 

[Jaker]

Iverson already told him that he does not need to show up for practice

 

[Chief00]

He apparently isn't playing today unfortunately

I think he may sign with UConn but KO needs to sell him that he isn't a redunancy with Gilbert. It would be interesting how you sell that. I will be like Oz - Any thoughts anyone?

 

[Chief00]

I can tell you. I grew up in New Haven and UConn is not what it is up north. There arent many die hards down there. They'll root for them and watch them when theg are good, but they dont grow up attending games and loving the program

True about New Haven.

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

Seton Hall FF or NC good? I don't know much about their squad, but I'll believe that when I see it.

With the condition they land a legit PG which is still a big question. Otherwise sweet16 ceiling.

 

[Tenspro2002]

People on this board seem to get mad at KO if he prioritizes and misses (Diallo) and then if he recognizes there's little chance and so goes in a different direction (Waters). He literally can't win with some people.

I fully support KO prioritizing and going after truly elite talent. It's absolutely necessary to maintain prestige, not to mention the obvious on-court benefits.

However, there's a difference between "prioritizing" and "putting all your eggs in one basket". Far too often, KO has done the latter, whether it's Diallo or a guy like Stone, and that leaves us in a position where we overlook Plans B and C (which have typically done OK for us over the years) and settle for Plan D and a bunch of projects. That doesn't cut it.

Ultimately, the proof is in the pudding in terms of who we bring in and how the team does on the court. And the pudding has been s*** lately.

In what world do recruits de-commit from UConn to go to Providence?
(Edit: replied before I saw @djct1999 's post. Beat me to it.)

The answer is: the world changes, and formerly elite programs can quickly become run-of-the-mill, or downright irrelevant.

That is what's at stake for this program over the next few years. In the eyes of some national commentators and fans, it may be too late.

None of our PGs have his perimeter game. He and Gilbert are actually very different in style of play, so I think they could easily coexist without stepping into each other's way. They could really get out and run and their offensive stats would probably look great. They'd also take UConn's defensive TO% to its highest in years, which would be greatly welcome.

True about New Haven.

I grew up in New Haven. A bunch of us used to drive up for games in our teens. Used to go up all the time. almost everyone I knew was a big UConn fan.

Well im younger, 21. Kids i grew up with didnt give a dam about UConn. I was a one of a handful in my hs who really followed them
