Jerry C: Fresh off a surprisingly successful campaign, Seton Hall has the ingredients for a big season in 2026-27 -- if the right buttons are pushed

- Seton Hall's basketball program faces a critical offseason after a surprisingly successful 21-21 campaign.
Far and away the biggest issue is money, If Sha has it, we have seen him find players. I think he would run things a lot different if he knew we could score some points. It's up to the big guys what will be but what needs to be done is as plain as dogs balls.
It will be a challenge given they are thinking small NIL funds at 8 Mill. That is chump change when you are faced with the reality of trying to get better and compete against St Johns, UConn and Villanova. And the rest of the BE is loading up their NIL funds too!
Given the spend it can’t be categorized as anything but successful. Out of 37 at large teams how many spent what we spent or less? I’m sure there are some but certainly few. And how many above us in the NET spent our level or less?
We would be in the NCAA tourney if we played in the ACC this year. I have no doubt.
Very good article but nothing we don’t know. Time for the leadership of the University to come through with the funding the program needs to be tier competitive in the BE. The opportunity is now.
You didn't read the article or my post correctly, did you?
I feel most here have it wrong. It should not be pick battles if which program is to be successful, the university should prioritize being a leading academic community for its tier level and the fact is is a private/catholic institution while also saying for a mid Atlantic school aligned with the Big East we want to be as competitive on an annual basis in m and w soccer, basketball and baseball and softball. If tennis or golf has a break through God bless
I missed the 21-21 in the post you were replying to. My bad!
For color I would call this a successful but unsatisfying season.
And as I noted previously it had little to do with the bus ride to the Rock. The students could even fill Walsh when we played 3 games there. They made sure to gather their tickets but then many no showed the games. I was there and even with the band, friends and family behind both teams benches and the extremely limited seating on the floor there were many empty seats.
The school did everything possible to engage the students but all for naught.
