    Mayar Wol

    Agreed, PirateBlue08. Not that Wol wouldn't be a welcome addition to the 2026-27 squad and a nice depth piece, it cannot be at the expense of adding a big man or two. Signing a couple of the names mentioned in the Trove is a priority and would certainly help us cope with what we are most...

    Mohegan Sun opening weekend

    The Hall of Fame Classic was announced and it's UMass, Central Connecticut, Brown and Wake Forest. Those games will be played in Springfield on December 6, 2026. I suspect, if I had to guess, that Va Tech and Seton Hall may be playing in the yet-to-be-announced Hall of Fame Showcase which was...

    Mohegan Sun opening weekend

    Someone screwed up. It wouldn't surprise me that Seton Hall would play Virginia Tech given the GM's connections there. But it won't be in the Mohegan Sun Hall of Fame Tipoff.

    Devin Williams to visit

    It comes down to money, doesn't it always? Is it possible that even the bluebloods have limits on what they are willing to spend on their reserves? The fact that he is visiting today makes Seton Hall a serious contender and is great news. Coach Sha, please don't nickel and dime. Today is a...

    BE Portal Rankings

    Just looking at the number of teams who showed an interest in Del, I would agree with you that he is better (hopefully) than #691, but he likely gets dinged in the analytics because of the competition against which he played in the Big South last year, which is low-major.

    when and from where

    I would have thought based upon the absurd inflation that we've heard about for 2026, that number would have been higher - $5-$6 million. I hope you're right, Fishjam.

    when and from where

    I would love to get a commitment from Josiah Parker, then have him help us recruit his former teammate from FAU, Devin Williams, to help "save" us. I just think with what we've already likely spent in NIL on the first five players we've gotten (and Trey Parker), even that might be too big of a...

    New March Madness Format

    When I first began following college basketball, the field was 32. It has incrementally increased through the years. Once we have a few years under our belt with the new tournament format, I am sure we will view our selection (even if we are the last at-large team selected) as having "made the...

    Going to use this thread for SHU portal info

    Joeyklings had recently mentioned PF Devin Williams (FAU) on this thread. 6'10" and tied for 3rd nationally in blocks, averaging 2.6 per game (23.8 mins/game). Do we have the wherewithal to pay him? Reportedly drawing interest from Kentucky and, in addition to SHU, per X, he has "heard from"...

    Going to use this thread for SHU portal info

    Of the big men identified on this thread as having been contacted by Seton Hall (and there weren't a heck of a lot), only Jerald Colonel (SFA) is still available. Southland Defensive POY. Averaged 7.3 rebounds/2.6 blocks in 25.0 mins per game. 6'9", 200lbs.

    Selection Sunday: Hope

    Yeah, Seton Hall is not making it and even I'd call for an investigation if they did! Here's my pick for the surprise: Auburn in. Miami (OH) out. Auburn (17-16) played the 3rd most difficult schedule in the nation, including the 15th most difficult non-conference schedule. They have victories...

    Breeding Ts up Hurley

    Zuby was also the Big East Men's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year. He credited his mom for making him a student first because "this game is not going to be around forever". Good for him for listening to his mom and taking advantage of the education that basketball provided him.

    To the board

    Wow! This list could be the forum’s first Hall of Fame ballot!! Excluding Dan for a moment, who undeniably has put in an incredible amount of work in making this forum even possible, being a relative newcomer, I would like to shout out the list’s bookends, just for the reasons that shu09...
