South Orange, N.J. - In a nod to honoring Seton Hall basketball legends of the past who have helped shape the programs to what they are today, Seton Hall Athletics has announced the creation of the Pirates Legends Series, which will serve to honor Pirates greats at basketball games. Seton Hall will honor three greats in 2024-25, two men's players and one women's player.

The first men's basketball legend to be honored will be Dan Callandrillo, the 1982 BIG EAST Player of the Year who will be recognized on Sunday, Dec. 8, when the men's basketball team hosts Oklahoma State in the BIG EAST-Big 12 Battle at 12 p.m.

Then on Sunday, Dec. 22, when men's basketball hosts Georgetown in its BIG EAST home opener (7 p.m.), the second men's basketball legend to be honored will be Mark Bryant, the 15-year NBA veteran who led the Pirates to their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance and win in 1988.

On Saturday, Feb. 8, when women's basketball battles Xavier (2 p.m.), Seton Hall will recognize legend Jodi Brooks, who guided the Pirates to the 1994 NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen.

"Seton Hall basketball has an incredibly rich history of student-athletes who perform at an elite level, and the goal of the Pirates Legends Series is to honor our greats who came before us and recognize their role in making Seton Hall the great basketball school it is today," said Seton Hall Director of Athletics & Recreation Bryan Felt. "We're thrilled to bring Pirates Legends to our fans this season, and we're excited about the ovation that our Legends will receive!"

Callandrillo played for the Pirates from 1978-82 and was Seton Hall's first great player in the BIG EAST Conference. He was an immediate contributor as a freshman, averaging 12.1 points and 4.3 assists and gradually got better until he exploded his senior year in 1981-82, averaging 25.8 points (in an era with no three-point line) while shooting 51 percent from the field. He was named BIG EAST Player of the Year, third-team All-America and the recipient of the Haggerty Award as the Met Player of the Year.

When he graduated Callandrillo ranked third all-time in scoring history at Seton Hall with 1,985 points and is still sixth today.

Bryant helped usher in a new era of Seton Hall basketball when he and his teammates secured the program's first NCAA Tournament at-large berth at the conclusion of the 1987-88 season. It was the culmination of Bryant becoming a star basketball player as he leapt from averages of 12.2 points and 6.8 rebounds as a freshman to 20.5 points and 9.1 rebounds as a senior. He was named first-team All-BIG EAST in 1987-88 and that year's recipient of the Haggerty Award as the Met Player of the Year.

Bryant scored a game-high 30 points in Seton Hall's first NCAA Tournament win, an 80-64 victory over UTEP in Los Angeles, and he went on to be selected 21st overall in the 1988 NBA Draft by the Portland Trailblazers. He finished his Seton Hall career with 1,906 points and 912 rebounds, which both ranked fifth in program history at the time.

Brooks helped elevate Seton Hall women's basketball to a new level. In her senior season of 1993-94, she averaged 18.6 points and was named All-America honorable mention and the New Jersey and Metropolitan Player of the Year while helping the Pirates to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, finishing with a 27-5 record and a No. 14 national ranking. At the time of her graduation, she was the only player in program history to record over 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, 400 assists and 200 steals.

Fans can purchase tickets to both Pirates Legends men's basketball games on Ticketmaster or can still purchase season tickets to receive both Pirates Legends games at a discounted per-game rate and receive additional season ticket holder benefits. Season tickets or single-game tickets for the women's basketball legends game are available by calling the Seton Hall ticket office during normal business hours at 973-275-4255.

The Giants - New Low. Approaching Howard Beale Status

The worst part about the Giants is that their offense is so dysfunctional they are painful to watch. Adding to the pain are the mental mistakes & penalties at the worst possible time in just about every game. That's on the coach who is supposed to be an offensive genius.

George Young & Ernie Acorsi didn't seem to have a hard time working for the organization. Has the environment changed or did they just pick the wrong GM's ever since Ernie retired?

The GM and Coach did not pick Jones in the draft but did choose to extend him after the playoff win, which to me is almost the same thing. They had the option of using the franchise tag and making 2023 a prove-it year but instead chose to give Jones the extension and used the tag on Barkley who left anyway the following year.

Nonetheless, I don't put it all on the coach and GM. I really think that the ownership has done a terrible job overall running this franchise. I think it's clear by now that the Giants organization and how it is run is the problem more than any one coach, GM or player. The organization has been on a downward trajectory for well over a decade, which I think can be traced back to the building of the new stadium, where they displaced their season-ticket holders and downgraded their homefield advantage and fan experience considerably. Everything that was once great and admirable about the Giants is completely gone.

I used to think that if they evolved and picked a competent GM and coach who knew how to build a winning team in the modern NFL, then that would fix their issues. I don't believe that anymore. I have no confidence that even if they replace Schoen and Daboll that they will find success in the near future.

Awesome post, perfectly stated and I could not agree more. I still think Daboll and Schoen have not gotten it done but Mara and Tisch are ultimately responsible. I thought we had the George Young moment when Schoen took over but maybe not. Can the owners get out of the way?

Selling my season tickets was the best thing I ever did when they went to the new crappy stadium and they keep reinforcing that decision.

The GM had a nice draft class this season, found our WR, TE, and a gem Running Back and the 2 secondary guys Nubin and Phillips.... He did send his son to Don Bosco Prep (as a Bergen Catholic alum) that was a mistake haha, but remember the GM and Coach Dab's didn't pick Jones so give them their QB and then we can see what happens..... I am a bit upset as in 2022 I thought Jones came out and did so well, I dont know what happened but it happened......

The Giants’ problem is very clear. They get terrible QB play. League-average QB plan and they’re likely 5-5. Far too many mistakes and simply an inability for the player to make the critical plays that determine wins and losses in this day and age. Go down this list this year: Yesterday, Steelers, Bengals, Cowboys, I mean, sometimes it is about 1 player at 1 position when it’s so critical.

You watch the games and it’s overwhelming. Even the numbers are overwhelming now. Look at any of them. How about the fact they’re 3-13 with him the past two seasons, 5-6 without him, LOL. They’re not a great roster yet – need to keep building in secondary and interior DL – but they should be a .500 team.

Paying DJ $40M a year was the decision that should get these guys fired. He has had how many prove it years now? Guys in his 6th season and many league experts continue to be exasperated by the Giants continuing to play him. We've been in QB hell for way too long. Getting an experienced QB would have been a better move if they couldn't draft their guy, but they screwed the pooch. The QB class coming out isn't even close to being as talented as the last one. Penix is better than the QBs coming out this year and he was the 4th QB taken in the draft at #8.

Schoen better pull a rabbit out of the hat if he wants to keep his job. One good draft class out of 3. Facts.

I feel for Daboll but he's getting desperate with his play calling too. That 3rd and 1 and he calls a lateral back to the QB instead of keeping the drive going last week when Tracy was running well at the time. He's lost his mojo and his play calling is no better than Kafka's. The guy executing the plays is terrible. Tommy Cutlets would be better which isn't saying much.

Top to bottom is the talent better on the team than when they inherited it? Can that talent beat anyone in our division? Maybe the Cowboys by a point now that Dak is hurt. We were last place in the division three years ago and will be again. That is the measure that Mara and Tisch should judge them on.

They will probably start another QB and we win a few more games down the stretch pushing us lower in the draft order. Or they will keep playing Jones, he will get hurt and his injury clause will cost us millions in the future salary cap. They've boxed themselves in here. The right move is to sit Jones and keep future cap money. What a mess!
