Hoping that he understands how much we here as well as those at the Hall want him to join us in South Orange. A perfect fit for what Kevin Willard is looking for.

All the best to a really talented young man and hopefully future Pirate.

Niels Lane—hoping to see you rain from the outside in Blue and White at the Prudential Center starting in November of 2020!
 
Darius Lane was our last really good Lane. Come bring the Lane name back to stardom at Seton Hall.

This kid would be tremendous, hope he verbals very soon.

Hard to argue with how our coaching staff is growing. From Whitehead, to the big seniors, to Myles Powell and a team developing into a top 20 consistent tourney participant, the sky is the limit.

These 2020 and 2021 kids can be part of that next stage of development. No doubt committing to the Hall will give the exposure necessary to make it to the NBA.
 
Good evening to all.

6’5 from Jersey
#78 nationally ranked overall player (and rising)
Excellent handle
Crisp passing
Court presence
Good outside shot
Plays D with good anticipation

Hope he commits soon!!!

The future looks bright at Seton Hall!!!

Our time is now Niels! Come, be part of a special time in Seton Hall basketball.
 
We're looking for an impact commit Niels, be that guy and come to the Hall.
 
Come on join a strong line of Lane’s at the Hall- Darius to Niels...OK maybe just a couple of Lanes but a great to a future great nonetheless. C'mon, board the ship!
 
Niels, hope you enjoyed your visit to Seton Hall! We have a VERY passionate and loyal group of fans here. Our team's a great group of guys who have each others' backs and I've heard this from talking to them, that they're not just teammates, they're brothers. Coach Willard is great at developing talent and importantly really cares about the kids who come here. We're on a roll with 4 straight tourney appearance...with 5 looking really good as we're top 15 pre-season in a number of polls. We'd love you to come on board! It would be awesome to have you be the first to commit in what can be another very special class for us!
 
Let’s do this, Niels... GREAT time to get on board. Be part of the legacy!
 
What position does he project as? I see shooting guard most places and pg on verbal commits.
 
Niels, if you're looking for a family atmosphere, quality academics & support system, good facilities, team first and superb coaching, then SETON HALL is the right destination for you!

Here's what you would be signing up for.....

8. Seton Hall

  • All-Time Record: 1,516-1,087-2 (.582 Winning Percentage)
  • NCAA Tournament Appearances: 13
  • Final Fours: One (1989)
  • National Championships: Zero
  • Notable Alums: Bob Davies, Bobby Wanzer, Glenn Mosely
If you look at the numbers, it’s fair to question why Seton Hall is on this list. The Pirates have by far the fewest tournament appearances of any school on here, they don’t have a championship to their name, and outside of 1989, the school has only advanced beyond the Sweet 16 once.

These facts are all true, but that doesn’t mean that Seton Hall isn’t a winning program. The Pirates were basketball independents for a long time, remaining out of a league until the 1960s, but they were still a regular presence at the NIT in the 1950s, headlined by an NIT championship in 1952.

The NIT doesn’t mean much now, but back then the NIT was an event that was arguably more prestigious than the NCAA Tournament, with schools often turning down bids in order to participate in the NIT. Seton Hall continued to win enough to catch the eye of the newly forming Big East conference, becoming a charter member back in 1979.

The Pirates struggled to compete early on as they had to fight for recruits with programs like Syracuse, Georgetown, and St. John’s, but they put together a nice run in the late ’80s, reaching the national title game under coach P.J. Carlesimo. That team lost to Michigan in the final, but the core of that group made another deep run two years later, getting back to the Elite Eight in 1991.

Seton Hall has a difficult task getting players to come to Northern New Jersey when schools with bigger name value like St. John’s and UConn are nearby, but they have found a way to win consistently and are a program on the rise. Coach Kevin Willard has done a great job at Seton Hall, taking the Pirates to four straight tournament appearances and is poised to inherit a pre-season top 15 squad next year, so the best could be yet to come for Seton Hall.

Have we ever had a player from Roselle Catholic? I don't remember one. Now, they've only recently had the types of players who you'd want to try to get so the sample size is definitely smaller than St. Patrick's, Anthony's, etc.
