Won in 5. Great resilliancy by the Pirates as they won the first 2 but dropped the next 2 sets, and then came out on top in the 3rd.

UConn picked 4th in the Big East Coaches Preseason Poll (SHU picked last).

Saw this on Wiki. We're not the poorest? Hooray!?
Ivy excluded from this but someone broke it down in the comments.

I would not waste a ship on a Top 75 - 150 recruit.....maybe not even on a Top 50 - 150. High School recruiting is a waste of time.

They would only see limited minutes as a freshman. Great example is our Freshman - Tae and the JaQuan's.

It is better to go through the portal and get a proven Soph or Junior that can give you quality 10-30 minutes in year one.

For example, if you have 2 scholarships, do you give them both to High School Seniors? I would hold both to the end of the year for transfers.

The game and rules have changed. I am glad that Holloway has no HS commits. Only the top 1-50 recruits play in year 1 and some of that group only receive limited minutes and some are a bust.

High School Recruiting Does not Matter

NEW YORK – Seton Hall's Bianca Bucciarelli (Carate Brianza, Italy) was named to the BIG EAST Women's Volleyball Weekly Honor Roll on Monday.

Bucciarelli was instrumental in The Hall's 2-0 start to BIG EAST play. The junior transfer led the Pirates in both kills per set and digs per set in a pair of thrilling five-set victories. Against Connecticut on Friday, Bucciarelli had a career-high 18 kills to lead all players along with a career-high 13 digs and three blocks. The next night against Providence, she tied for the team lead with 13 kills and collected a new career-best 18 digs to go with four blocks.

The matches were the first two double-doubles in Bucciarelli's career.

Marquette's Yadhira Anchante was named BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week, while St. John's Rachele Rastelli earned Defensive Player of the Week. Creighton's Ava Martin earned Freshman of the Week honors. Joining Bucciarelli on the Weekly Honor Roll are Butler's Amina Shakelford, Creighton's Allison Whitten, St. John's Giorgia Walther and Xavier's Brooklyn Cink.

Seton Hall will return to action when it heads to Washington, D.C. for a match with Georgetown on Friday, September 30. Match time is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.

NEW YORK – Seton Hall's Quenzi Huerman (Vannes, France) was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll, the conference announced on Monday.

Huerman scored a pair of goals on Saturday as Seton Hall finished in a 2-2 draw against Providence. Huerman now has five goals on the season, which leads the team and ranks him tied for third in the BIG EAST in that category. His 12 points is also the best on the Pirates and places him tied for fourth in the conference. The junior now has points in six of his eight matches so far this season.

The Pirates return to Owen T. Carroll Field for their first BIG EAST home match of the season, as they will host St. John's on Saturday at 6:56 p.m.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- When Jim Boeheim gets hungry after home games, he picks up the phone and calls his favorite restaurant, Saint Urban, which always agrees to stay open late until he arrives.

If the Syracuse Orange are on a hot streak, Boeheim will delay his arrival, to enjoy the festive moment and mingle with fans who still treat the veteran coach with five Final Four appearances and 10 Big East titles like he's a king in this city of approximately 142,000 people. But last season, there were a number of more subdued and stoic late nights, as the program wrestled through the first losing record of Boeheim's 46-year tenure.

"If they win, it's a great dinner," Adam Weitsman, Boeheim's best friend and a program booster who often tags along, said. "If it's a loss, it's the worst dinner ever because we just sit there, quiet. He doesn't say a thing, you know?"

While the rumblings of the 77-year-old Syracuse men's basketball coach's retirement have lingered for years, they have never seemed stronger than now, as the 2022-23 season -- the 20th anniversary of Boeheim's 2003 national championship run with Carmelo Anthony & Co. -- approaches. However, the more pressing question for a program that has been led by the Hall of Fame coach since 1976 is this: How will Syracuse move forward in a new chapter for men's college basketball without Boeheim?

It begins with Boeheim, who will have to convince recruits that Syracuse basketball will maintain the fervor of a fan base that has consistently filled all 35,000-plus seats at the JMA Wireless Dome (formerly the Carrier Dome), the largest on-campus basketball arena in the country.

"Before he moves on, he's going to make sure Syracuse is in a good place, where it can continue to have success," said Eric Devendorf, a standout guard under Boeheim from 2005 to '09 and former assistant. "Is it going to be the same? No. My man's been doing it for 45 years. So it's going to be a little bit different."

Boeheim has promised to retire in the past -- see: 2015, when he announced his decision to retire by March 2018, later changing his mind. Just last year, he told Forbes he would coach until he turned 80. You never know with Boeheim.

Sitting in his office in July, Boeheim says he's approaching the day he leaves, but will only make the move when he's confident Syracuse can handle the change -- which he has already conveyed to those close to him.

"I think he almost loves it now more than ever," Jimmy Boeheim, one of his sons and a starter on last season's squad, said. "I know he won't coach a day longer than he doesn't feel that. He wouldn't shortchange his players or his fans."

But the retirements of Jay Wright (Villanova), Mike Krzyzewski (Duke) and Roy Williams (North Carolina) in the past two years have left Boeheim without many peers in college basketball. All three coaches suggested they had limited interest in adapting to a new era of college sports, which now includes NIL and the transfer portal.

Boeheim has said he won't let any changes force him to retire. But he also admits he won't try to attract elite transfers with major NIL deals.

He does not talk like someone who intends to stick around too long to watch as this new climate evolves.

"People have been asking me that for 15 years," he said. "Well, 15 years ago, if I'd said it'd be pretty soon, I would have been a liar. I think, realistically, I'm pretty close. But I would never quit because of this or that."

Don't be fooled by North Carolina's success in Hubert Davis' first season at the helm after Williams' retirement, when he led the team to the 2022 national title game.

Schools often struggle in the years that follow the replacement of a longtime coach. When Guy Lewis retired in 1986 after 30 years at Houston, the Cougars earned just one conference championship until 2019. Arkansas fired Nolan Richardson, who led the team to the 1994 national title, in 2002 -- and failed to reach the second weekend of the NCAA tournament for nearly 20 years. Mike Woodson is the fifth head coach Indiana has hired since firing Bob Knight in 2000. Some would argue UCLA is still searching for the right successor to John Wooden, who won 10 national titles in 12 seasons: The Bruins produced just two Final Four appearances in the two decades following his retirement in 1975.

For Syracuse, the impact of the high-profile program -- and the weight of a job held by Boeheim since 1976 -- extends far beyond the campus.

At The Basketball Tournament regional hosted at SRC Arena in Syracuse in July, the parking lots and the stands were flooded with orange-and-white-clad Syracuse fans. When Boeheim entered the building to watch the aptly named Boeheim's Army, a team anchored by former Syracuse players, the arena roared with applause and cheers.

Game nights at Syracuse make you feel like you've stumbled into college basketball's largest family reunion. Former players often return to the city to live near campus and support their school.

Boeheim has built this community. He also hasn't left the area. Arriving from a high school just over 50 miles away, he joined the basketball team as a walk-on in 1962 and eventually became team captain. Even after graduation, when he played semi-pro basketball from 1966 to 1969, he lived in town and helped former head coaches Fred Lewis and Roy Danforth as a grad assistant.

"I've never left," Boeheim said. "I'm the only coach that's ever done that. People come back. But this is my 60th year."

Memphis is the second school whose NCAA case is resolved by the IARP, and the other four could have decisions soon​

The second of six infractions cases being resolved by the IARP, an independent review panel created in 2019 solely to review complex cases, was formally adjudicated on Tuesday as Memphis joined NC State in seeing its long and winding investigation come to a close. The Tigers program, which was under investigation and facing four Level I allegations and multiple Level II allegations stemming from violations centered around former No. 1 recruit James Wiseman, were instead hit with four Level II violations and five Level III violations after an extensive investigation by the panel.

Memphis faced significant consequences if its initial charges held -- including potentially a postseason ban for the program and stiff penalties for Penny Hardaway -- after Hardaway was charged with acting as a booster to secure the commitment of Wiseman. The hearing panel, though, determined that Hardaway's previous philanthropic involvement within the Memphis community and the availability of his generosity to all Memphians, not just to student-athletes, made his financial involvement with Wiseman merely a continuation of his long-standing status as a booster and not an act of recruiting inducement.

Memphis does face some penalties as part of the IARP's final decision -- it will pay a fine, go on probation and vacate the wins it secured when Wiseman played -- but it was by and large a slap love-tap on the wrist, and one that would seemingly bode well for the remaining schools waiting to hear final rulings from the panel.

There remains no timeline on when the final four schools will see their cases come to a close, but NCAA Vice President of Hearing Operations, Derrick Crawford, told the media on a call Tuesday that the four -- Louisville, Arizona, Kansas and LSU -- are on track to be resolved in "late spring, early summer of 2023." Louisville and Arizona have completed their hearings while Kansas and LSU have not, suggesting they may be ahead in the queue.


As we await those decisions, let's run through the timelines as they currently stand -- first with the resolved cases and then with those still open.

Resolved cases​

Memphis​

Rules violations have centered around former player James Wiseman

• March 4, 2020: Request for referral of infractions case granted to IARP
• Oct. 8, 2020: The first IARP activity in the case -- The Complex Case Unit and Memphis submitted a request to amend the case management plan.
• Feb. 19, 2021: The Complex Case Unit provided notification of completion of the investigation.
• March 19, 2021: The chief panel member provides a status update letter.
• July 9, 2021: The Complex Case Unit submitted an amended notice of allegations.
• August 27, 2021: Memphis submitted a request for reconsideration of the chief panel member's response regarding compliance with operating procedures.
• October 7, 2021: Memphis and coach Penny Hardaway submit responses to the amended notice of allegations.
• April 22, 2022: The chief panel member conducts a hearing with Memphis, the Complex Case Unit and Penny Hardaway.
• May 20 and May 21, 2022: The hearing panel conducts a hearing
• September 27, 2022: Infractions decision released by IARP with Memphis placed on probation for three years, forced to vacate records in the three games Wiseman played in and fined $5,000, but avoided a postseason ban.

NC State​

The NCAA alleged payments to Dennis Smith were tied to former Wolfpack coaches, including head coach Mark Gottfried

• May 18, 2020: Request for referral of infractions case granted to IARP
• Feb 1, 2021: Notice of allegations by Complex Case Unit amended and issued to NC State.
• August 9-10 2021: The IARP hearing panel conducted a hearing.
• December 20, 2021: Infractions decision released by IARP with NC State placed on one year of probation, issued a $5,000 fine and scholarship losses through 2022-23, plus some standard recruiting limitations. The team's 15 wins that came while Smith played at NC State were vacated, but the Wolfpack also avoided a postseason ban.

Like all of you, I bleed Setonia. 74-78 years. Played ball and broadcast wrote about sports. The Center for Sports Media Gala at Chelsea Piers that I attended was the impetus to write this piece about how my years at Seton Hall shaped who I am. As a I get older, the more I realize this and the more I give back. I'm sure you all have this same attachment where the tentacles run deep. I'd like to share it so you can share your own memories. Be True to Your School - our school Seton Hall. Hazard Zet Foward.








What worked so well for the Beach Boys with the Be True to Your School hit single on the Little Duece Coupe album way back in 1963 still rings true almost 60 years later. There is nothing like the memories and associations of “your school.” For many, it’s their time in high school, for others, it is their college years. I fall into the latter category with my affection for all things Seton Hall. Or what I have come to refer to in later years with the abbreviated monikers – “the Hall” or “Setonia.” That school helped shape who I am and what I became, both personally and professionally. The $3,000 my folks spent each year on my tuition in the mid to late 70s was a tremendous price-to-value relationship. A payoff that’s immeasurable, both in real and psychic income.

Recently I was fortunate to attend a fundraiser gala in NYC at The Lighthouse on Chelsea Piers. The benefactor was the new Center for Sports Media at Seton Hall. Led by the generous gift of $2 Million by fellow WSOU alum and ESPN great Bob Ley, the launch of this new venture is off to a great start. Seton Hall is sometimes accused of doing things small time. That certainly was not the case that evening. ESPN stars were out in force to support their friend Bob Ley and the venture he’s passionate about. Renowned ABC news anchor Robin Roberts was honored with the Lifetime Professional Achievement Award. The event was first-class all the way. It resonated with this alumnus who got my professional start broadcasting Seton Hall sports on the campus radio station WSOU and writing game stories for the Setonian. WSOU was a renowned 10,000-watt FM radio station. These experiences were the building blocks that ultimately led to a successful four-decade career in advertising and communications.

Dr. Joseph Nyre, the dynamic President of Seton Hall, spoke eloquently about the “Power of the place to change destinations and transform lives.” Our college years truly shaped many us as individuals. The place that Seton Hall holds with me has deep tentacles, far beyond my passion for all things Seton Hall hoops. (Well, that does rank high from November through March if truth be told). Seton Hall was my sleeper school choice. Syracuse and Fordham were the others. South Orange just felt right for this late blooming 17-year-old. The campus was small and not overwhelming. A plus, I could live on campus and still be home in two hours. I enrolled not knowing that I was going to forge a lifelong love affair with the school. One that keeps growing stronger as I age.

I matured at Seton Hall. When you come from the quiet town of Milford, CT and you’re thrown in with peers from all across Jersey, the five boroughs of NYC, and surrounding states, I learned to adapt and grow up quickly. I fondly remember professors that sparked an interest in advertising and marketing. Friendships were forged lasting four great years and many decades after. Working side by side with broadcasting pros who became brand names in their own right in the business. Broadcasting Hall hoops and baseball games all across the country was living a dream. Sharing post game drinks at a very young age with then coach Billy Raferty (drinking age was 18 back then) and interviewing the likes of the intimidating John Thompson. Being a part of great Pirate baseball teams that made it to the College World Series in Omaha and churned out MLB professional players – Rick Cerone, Charlie Puleo and Dan Morogiello from Canarsie, Brooklyn. Covering NFL Drafts in NYC or sitting in the press box at the newly opened Giants Stadium at the Meadowlands. What 18-year-old wouldn’t sign up for four years of such experiences? All this happened because of power of the place that is Seton Hall.

What made the Center of Sports Media gala so special for me was watching the students present who are a part of the program. They were literally soaking up the big-time atmosphere of the event. You could see in their eyes a starry wonderment as they were held in rapt attention to advice being doled out by Robin Roberts and other ESPN personalities. Imagining themselves in a similar position somewhere down their career path. The future is all in front of them. As I did, they surely have a strong sense that they’ve chosen the right “place,” to put themselves in position to succeed in whatever venture they pursue. Dr. Nyre, know that the power of the Seton Hall place in our lives was strong that night.

So many of the paths in my life can be traced back to the Seton Hall campus in the hamlet of South Orange. Whether it was the people I met or the person I’ve become, I sometimes wonder how much was determined there.

Thanks, Setonia, for all that you did for me. Hazard Zet Forward.

The University today announced a new NIL policy: https://www.shu.edu/policies/seton-hall-university-image-name-and-or-likeness-policy.cfm

Does this answer the concerns some people on this board have posted about NIL and recruiting? Or are those just market-based concerns?

First of all, I hate this list simply for including miniseries and Jeopardy. Which means, it's fun to argue the heck out of it. Considering it's slow on basketball news and I deem LOTS to be mostly political, why not?

Also, I'm in the camp of the Wire being #1. I know it's not everyone's #1 (you could probably guess what they chose fairly easily) but I absolutely love that show.

How patient will UConn fans be and for how long.

Missed on 3.

This one got tough at the end.

RIP

ENFIELD, N.H. – Junior Wanxi Sun (Danville, Calif.) fired a 3-under-par, 69, on Sunday to lift the Seton Hall men's golf team to a second-place finish at the Dartmouth Invitational.

Sun had a dazzling final round, using six birdies and 10 pars to race up the individual leaderboard. Sun finished the two-day event tied for sixth with a 1-over-par, 76-69-145. It's his fourth career top-10 finish and his second straight to begin the fall season.

Sun, however, wasn't the top Pirate for the tournament. That honor belongs to sophomore George Fricker (Woodbridge, England) who wrapped up his second tournament as a Pirate with a 2-under-par, 70, on Sunday. Fricker had five birdies and 10 pars in round three. For the tournament, he tied for second among 61 individual golfers with a 3-under-par, 71-70-141.

Saint Joseph's J.T. Spina won the individual title, finishing just one stroke ahead of Fricker.

As a team, The Hall shaved 18 strokes off its first-round score to finish with a 1-under-par, 287, on Sunday. Despite the stout performance, Siena was able to hold off the Pirates for the team title. The Hall finished the two-day event with a 16-over-par, 305-287-592.

The Hall has now started the fall season with a victory at the Alex Lagowitz Memorial and a runner-up at the Dartmouth Invitational.

Sophomore Angus O'Brien (Barwon Heads, Australia) shaved seven strokes off his first-round score on Sunday. He had a birdie on No. 8 and an eagle on the par-5, No. 11 hole. For the tournament, he placed 18th with a 9-over-par, 80-73-153.

Senior Wenliang Xie (Zhaoqing, China) was another Pirate to eagle hole No. 11 on Sunday. He shaved five strokes off his first-round score to finish with a 3-over-par, 75. For the tournament, he tied for 22nd with an 11-over-par, 80-75-155.

Junior Brody Hanley (Lantana, Texas) rounded out the Pirates' lineup on Sunday with an 8-over-par, 80. For the two-day event, he tied for 32nd with a 14-over-par, 78-80-158.

Two Pirates playing as individuals also wrapped up their tournaments on Saturday. Freshman Jack Bosworth (Simsbury, Conn.) had four birdies in route to a 3-over-par, 75. He finishes tied for 19th overall with a 10-over-par, 79-75-154. Freshman David Lally (Wicklow, Ireland) closed out his tournament with an 8-over-par, 80. He finished the event with a 14-over-par, 78-80-158.

South Orange, N.J. – Seton Hall dropped its second BIG EAST contest of the season on Sunday afternoon, falling 2-0 to Villanova. The Wildcats scored off a pair of set pieces as the Pirates fell to 4-4-2 with the defeat.

How it Happened
Villanova struck early to take the lead, as a header from Makayla Stadler off a corner got past Grace Gordon (Chester Springs, Pa.) to give the Wildcats a 1-0 advantage. The Pirates tried to quickly respond, as Brina Micheels (Plattsburgh, N.Y.) recorded a shot on goal less than two minutes later, but was stop by Villanova goalkeeper Megan McClay.

Gordon kept it a one goal margin midway through the first half. As the Wildcats had numbers in the attacking third, Gordon charged aggressively and made a sliding save at the top of the penalty area on a Lauren Belcuore shot to keep it a 1-0 match.
Villanova would add its second goal in the 56th minute, as Lauren Ashman scored off a free kick service from Emma Weaver to make it 2-0.

One of the best Pirate opportunities of the day came in the 73rd minute, as Maddy DeCola (Mahopac, N.Y.) controlled the ball near the top of the 18-yard box. The freshman struck a shot with her left foot towards the near post, but McClay was able to make the save.

Providence, R.I. – Seton Hall traveled to Providence on Saturday night for its second BIG EAST contest of the season, playing the Friars to a 2-2 draw. Quenzi Huerman (Vannes, France) found the back of the net twice to bring his season goal total to five.

How it Happened
Providence was able to strike first, as a 15th minute goal from Christopher Roman gave the Friars a 1-0 advantage. Despite the early Providence tally, the opening 45 minutes were evenly contested, with both sides generating healthy chances. The Pirates had two opportunities to score off free kicks from James Boote (Southampton, England) and Tomas Nunez (Longchamps, Argentina), however both were stopped by Friar goalkeeper Lukas Burns.

The Hall finally broke through late in the opening half. Huerman generated a turnover just outside the Pirate attacking third which led to an odd-man rush. Huerman dribbled into the penalty area and struck one with his left boot past Burns to level the match at 1-1.

Huerman did not wait long into the second half to find the back of the net again. In the 56th minute, Andrea Borg (Sliema, Malta) played a pass towards the box that led Huerman perfectly. The junior flicked it with his left foot past Burns to give Seton Hall a 2-1 advantage.

Seton Hall's defense did well to keep the Friars from equalizing, but in the 81st minute the hosts were able to break through. Luis Garcia was able to get one past Hannes Ronnholmen (Stockholm, Sweden) to tie things at 2-2.

News & Notes

• Quenzi Huerman is the first Pirate to score two goals in a match since CJ Tibbling did so against Georgetown last season. Huerman's four-point night was also the first since Tibbling.
• Huerman has now registered points in six of his eight matches this season.
• The Pirates have now scored in each of their first eight matches, the first time they have done so since scoring in 11 straight to start the 1999 season.
• The Pirates held the shot advantage, 11-8, as well as the edge in shots on goal, 8-5.
• Ronnholmen made three saves in net for the Pirates.
• Boote, Huerman and Nunez each had two shots apiece to lead the team.

Up Next
The Pirates play their first BIG EAST home contest of the season next Saturday, as they welcome in St. John's. Kickoff is slated for 6:56 p.m.
