Predicting where players are going has become difficult. Even regarding insiders and the media.

The reason that so many people whiffed on Abass coming to Seton Hall, and that includes me, is because he lied to the staff. He asked for a final offer and when he got it during his visit he accepted it.

The school was so sure he was coming stories were written both inside SHU and with the media. Pictures were taken to be used in the school's article and then when the visit was over he said he wanted to think on it. Which meant...shop it around. Which he did and then committed to his next visit.

Take that into consideration when commenting on bad info here.

BTW, the above was just given to me by someone at the school and told me who passed on the info. Someone I will not identify but is a strong school insider not on the staff.

Sha's put together a roster of untapped potential with 2 scholarships left to fill. I love to watch Sha work his magic.

He continues to be a common-sense leader in PA. Another example of eliminating barriers for businesses to invest (in this case, revitalize an important part of a city that has had a rebirth). Good tag line: "Government moving at the speed of business".

He's taken a visibly strong stance against anti-Semitism on college campuses emanating from the protests, and rarely gets involved in silly woke issues. Runs circles around Murphy and Hokul. Would not be surprised to see him as a top Presidential candidate in 2028.

I'm not sure what's effective and what's not but it seems these are Sha's NIL/Budget principles. Do others agree or disagree?

1- He's not willing to pay going-rate for players in the Portal who have not proven themselves at SH.

2- Wants players to come in and earn their spot and salary. This is a good stance but loses effectiveness if you can't afford to keep your own players once they do prove themselves.

3- This year he seems to prefer paying many players around the same rate rather than pay for 1 or 2 good players to lead the team. Last year he had a terrible budget and gave most of it to his 3 returning starters. This year he seems to want to spread it out as much as possible to have 10 capable players.

4- He seems unwilling to raise his initial offers much. If he makes an offer and that player gets a higher offer, Sha says take it or leave it.

5- SH still seems far behind most Power 5 schools in NIL budget. Seems we are working with somewhere between $1.0M and $1.4M not $1.5-2.0M.

He just opened recruitment again . Is there interest?

Bronny James appears ready to join his father in the NBA.

Bronny, the eldest son of Lakers superstar LeBron James, is planning to stay in the 2024 NBA Draft after being medically cleared to play in the league, The Athletic reported Monday.

The 19-year-old received clearance from the NBA’s Fitness to Play Panel following his cardiac arrest due to a congenital heart defect last year, and is allowed to participate in the pre-draft combine this week, per ESPN.

The USC guard is scheduled to participate in five-on-five scrimmages starting Tuesday, according to NBADraft.net

Bronny’s future has been a major storyline entering this year’s draft since his future could be tied to his father’s.

James, 39, has said he hopes to play in the NBA with his son, and Bronny entering this year’s draft would potentially pave the way for that opportunity.

The team that drafts Bronny could, in theory, have the upper hand in landing James this summer. The four-time NBA MVP holds a $51.4 million team option with the Lakers for the upcoming season.

Los Angeles could draft Bronny in hopes it convinces James to stay around.

Bronny is projected as a second-round pick and multiple mock drafts have the Lakers using the 55th pick — a second-round selection — to draft the freshman, including The Ringer.

However, James’ agent, Rich Paul, recently downplayed how Bronny will affect his father’s plans.

“The idea of them playing together is not a priority. It’s not foremost, at least any longer, in LeBron James’ mind,” ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski said.

“Rich Paul’s goal here in the pre-draft process for Bronny James is to see if there’s the right developmental organization, a place that can take a young player like Bronny James … If he does go in the draft, he very likely would spend next year in the G League.

“That’s the priority for them as a family. What’s best for Bronny James? If it ends up them together, that would be great, but I don’t get a sense it’s playing much of any role in LeBron James’ decision on next season.”

If that’s the case, Bronny’s case is lacking for a freshman prospect.

Bronny averaged just 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists while shooting 36.6 percent — 26.7 percent from 3 — for a bad USC team that did not qualify for the NCAA Tournament.

While acknowledging that Bronny even playing this season was a triumph in its own right, those statistics would not generate draft buzz for almost any other freshman.

Bronny declared for the draft in April while maintaining his collegiate eligibility.

Should Bronny decide before the May 29th deadline to return to college, he will transfer from USC, which lost the coach that recruited him in Andy Enfield.

Seeing it on Twitter and his Instagram. Backcourt looks set with Harmon, Jenkins, Coleman, Middleton, Felton and maybe DAW. Add a decent big and this is an interesting roster.

The Pirates will play at The Farms Golf Club just outside of San Diego, Calif.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND. – The 2024 BIG EAST champion Seton Hall men's golf team has been placed in the Rancho Santa Fe Region for the upcoming NCAA Regionals, May 13-15. The Pirates will compete at The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., hosted by the University of San Diego.

This will be the sixth time in program history that Seton Hall has a team competing at the NCAA Regionals and the second time in the last three years. Its 2022 team was seeded 12th in the 14-team Yale Regional and placed eighth, out-shooting a pair of teams ranked nationally in the Top-35, Charlotte (31) and NC State (27). Seton Hall's eighth place finish is the best in program history at an NCAA Regional and its 848 final team score is the lowest in five prior all-time trips to the marquee event.

The 2024 Rancho Santa Fe Regional will be played May 13-15 and consist of 14 teams and five individuals (not from those 13 or 14 teams). The top five teams and one individual (not from a top-5 team) will advance to the National Championship at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, Calif., May 24-29.

No Seton Hall golfer has ever advanced to the National Championship.

The Pirates earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Regionals with a thrilling five-stroke victory at the 2024 BIG EAST Championship. The Hall shot an even-par, 288, in the final round to hold off Butler. It's the Pirates' fourth BIG EAST title overall and the second in three years.

The Rancho Santa Fe Region:

1. Arizona State
2. Washington
3. Oklahoma
4. California
5. Oklahoma State
6. North Florida
7. Chattanooga
8. South Florida
9. San Diego
10. West Virginia
11. Kansas
12. Wright State
13. SETON HALL
14. Winthrop

If true, this NIL is really insane.

I know he left Georgetown.

Someone on Hall Line just said that André Barrett was offered and accepted the assistant coaching position at the Hall. Is there any truth to that????

Canadian kid from Jaden Bediako's hometown. Both follow each other on social media assuming are friends. He entered the portal in March and I don't see anything about visits etc. Solid kid averaged 7 and 7 for Fresno State last year. I wonder if Sha and Jaden will reach out.
