On now, Andy Katz doing game. Both teams look bad 7-6 halfway thru 1st half

Can’t imagine Hofstra having more NIL $ to lure Sanders from the Hall

Hofstra is a winning program with 3 straight 20+ win seasons (remember when they bounced us from the NIT?). This isn't football...if you're playing a winning mid major you better bring your A game or prepare to lose, period. It's not that Hofstra has better talent or more NIL, but Seton Hall really suffered this off-season and no longer has the talent to sleepwalk through a game like this.

I'm going to continue to say what is factual when it comes to colllege sports....NOTHING has changed other than NIL is above ground vs it being underground or hidden in the shadows.

Any program making full blown excuses in regards to NIL, is 100% wrong. The fundamentals of colllege sports, football, basketball etc, still starts and ends with quality coaching and HS focused relationships and recruiting.

Any team can lose a starter or even 2 in basketball, but it should not decimate your team or roster. Coaches still have to recruit, develop and sell their school each and every year.

Right now, Seton Hall has 3 HS freshman from the 2024 class and 8 portal transfers added to their roster....with another 4 HS kids in 2023, only one is playing major minutes right now.

It's literally impossible to flip an entire roster over with so few minutes returning, unless the portal additions hit the ground running from Game 1.

As it stands today, there are no 2025 HS recruits committed to SHU.....if fans are going to complain about NIL, that's fine, but having no HS commits right now must mean this roster is expected to be in place for awhile.....OR they expect to grab more portal kids in the spring??

I think most schools and coaches are going back to the fundamentals of HS recruiting and development....it makes more financial sense and develop a continuity within the program. Fill gaps with 1 to 3 portal kids, overhauling an entire roster with all portal kids, is going to take a couple of months to sort out.

Hawk, not the same. When did any kid get $10.5 million to be a QB in college? Guess what? Michigan just offered it. Money is way more than in the past. SH is sunk to NIL and to a degree we are too.

Michigan isn't actually going to pay anything close to that, if anything it makes a headline and QBs in football "might" be the only true NIL position to pony-up for. That and 310 lb true defensive tackles or Offensive tackles, other than that, good luck.

Didn't RurgersAl say the key to winning and attracting stud players is all about the new and shiny facilities. Well, how is that working out for the Hall?
Maybe the rule applies to only football.
Seems the Hall's problem is a lack of chemistry and they just have a collection of portal players that don't play well together? IDK. I have a degree from the Hall, went there during their PJ Carlesimo glory years (Hobbs was one of my profs), yet I don't give a crap about their team or follow what is going on other than what Carino posts.
