[Halldan]

Not 100% confirmed yet but MIGHTY close. Awaiting confirmation on one minor thing.

 

[SHUHOOPS5]

He posted on campus on his IG story today

 

[Halldan]

Yes, but the NCAA compliance dept still has to ok the move.

Expected to happen soon.

 

[Windmill_Willie]

I guess this was the good news?

 

[Halldan]

Yes.

 

[radecicco]

C’mon make it happen.

 

[PirateBlue08]

Yes.

Didn't you say 2 players? So one still outstanding that we don't know about?

 

[PirateBlue08]

@Halldan or anyone else knowledgable, not sure what level of competition he's playing against in that video above, but would he immediately start at the 4 for us over Williams? Or is he thought to be a 3? Any sense on this

No Williams should start at the 4.. This guy is more of a 3 although expect him to play as a 4 because of our lack of options there. To me, he's similar to Josh Rivera was last year. Athletic, plays hard, can't shoot which limits him. If he can buy into being an energy guy and play Sha's brand of defense he'll get minutes.

Ilay Dolinski was the other

Williams along with Simeon Wilcher were probably our best players this summer in workouts.

 

[radecicco]

Theo will play. Started and impactful on the gold medal winning Italian under 20 team a couple years ago versus other Euro national teams. But still needs development.

 

[Halldan]

That closes out the roster. Zags has been reporting we might sign another player but I doubt it.

Here's Jerry's final roster.....

Seton Hall's projected 2026-27 depth chart​

Guards (7): Del Jones (6-3, 187), Simeon Wilcher (6-4, 200), Trey Parker (6-0, 180), Kareem Thomas (6-5, 195), Roddie Anderson (6-3, 195), Mihailo Petrovic (6-2, 180), Darien 'Payday' Moore (6-2, 170).

Wings (3): Rodney Brown (6-6, 180), Theo Airhienbuwa (6-7, weight unknown), Mayar Wol (6-8, 191).

Bigs (4): Devin Williams (6-10, 205), Terry Copeland (6-9, 225), Ilay Dolinski (6-9 weight unknown), Abdulai Fanta Kabba (7-0, 235).

 

[HALL85]

Small ball this year.

 

[NYShoreGuy]

Small ball this year.

Very guard and wing heavy 10 of those guys all won't play

 

[NittanyPirate]

Would

PG Petrovic 6-1 1/2
SG Jones 6-3
WF Wilcher 6-4
PF Williams 6-10
C Copeland 6-7 1/2

be too small? I share the same concern as others that replacing last years PG could be detrimental. Petrovic seems more of a facilitator/distributor but Jones offense may also be needed.

Could they play, at times, together?

 

[HallGuy2323]

Small ball this year.

That’s an understatement. We barely have any players over 200 pounds.

 

[HALL85]

That’s an understatement. We barely have any players over 200 pounds.

If Williams or Copeland miss any time with injuries or foul trouble, yikes. Dolinski and Kabba do not look like anything more than 5-8 mpg players.
