First look at the brand new Seton Hall Basketball Performance Center‼️
- Thread starter Halldan1
- Start date
Nice. Would have liked it to me a bit longer and a look at the Legacy Wall .
As they are still selling bricks for Legacy Wall it is probably still under construction at this point.
I hope our former NBA players and coaches (Raf, PJ) are donating to our NIL.
RAF probably can’t right now since he’s a broadcaster - conflict of interest. PJ is wishful thinking.
Maybe if he gets us $10 million in donations we can name it the "Frank the Tank Basketball Training Center" lol
BUILD IT AND THEY SHALL COME . Let’s hope that it does work and it becomes a major asset in our recruiting and in our player development efforts.
Sam Dalembert was probably our most financially successful professional athlete, given the era he played in and the longevity he had. Would be wonderful if he was in the position to help and if our program has pursued it.
Tremendous! Can't wait to see it.
Spoke with Donny Marshall after the UConn game and he said the facility is amazing and elite in the conference. Also noted that he is super tight with Sha and that the school and fans need to support him with NIL so his coaching chops can be on full display!
He is not in a position to help. He underwrote many relatives and friends in Haiti. He is a cautionary tale.

There should be no expectation that Sada NgaNga will ever donate to the Seton Hall NIL fund
Edited in such quick cuts it was impossible to properly appreciate. But clearly it's a very sharp facility.
I've said this before, I would expect this to give a huge boost to your recruiting. Sure, it won't compete against a seven figure NIL check, but it makes it a lot easier for kids to imagine spending their careers at Seton Hall. It's a really big deal and it came out terrific.
This was an important get. No more basement guys and rooms that were worse than NJ Group 4 HS. It looks great.
There will be a Blessing and Ribbon Cutting ceremony on Wednesday, March 26 at 5:30 PM.
According to the University's email, "tours will be available."

It will be interesting to see who from the administration will be there and whether they will interact with the visitors.
If I were running the show for this it would be organized in a way where those in charge say a few words first. That messaging obviously touts the facility and all you'd expect, but also be real with what's happened this year, acknowledge something, and reiterate the future. It's a good forum to do that as this building needs to represent a fresh start.
People have donated to this. The program gave everyone our worst season in 40 years and completely broke the run we had the past decade while making us a laughingstock on multiple levels in the process. It's ridiculous.
Reach out to season ticket holders and offer tours. Do something, anything to engage the fan base.
The Practice Facility is much needed but building it should have never come at the expense of not fully focusing on andfunding the team's payroll at a BE level.
To have a glorious place to prepare but not be able to compete from a talent standpoint is ridiculous. There's no way anyone can deny that the effort, focus and funding that went into this facility did not come at the expense of preparing for NIL/P4P/Transfer Portal. And that is just a failure of leadership.
Like Levell Sanders said, "Seton Hall is building a practice facility. I feel like that is so, so 10 years ago. Nobody cares about what type of facility you have - they care about if you have NIL money."

Any update on the Legacy Wall.Finished, location and will there be any tours to those who donated ?
2 things are true here.
We needed a facility and we were ten years late getting it done.
We needed NIL and we are years late realizing the importance.
I do think if we get NIL in place, the facility elevates the program.
I also think this dumpster of a season, has to wake up the administration on NIL. The parking lots are half open. Not many concession stands open. NO STUDENT SECTION. This season has to be both a financial detriment in addition to the embarrassment to the school in total.
I am sure the Conference leadership has gotten involved as well making sure our leadership understands league expectations and what needs to be done to be competitive.
Do you really think if a practice facility wasn't being built the school would be in a better place with NIL?
Need to aim higher. At minimum $150 per person kids free, $250 if you want a tour led by a player or coach with photo and autograph opportunities after. Personally I would charge even more, but I think the shock of asking the fanbase for something of substance might cause panic.
It hurts to see that Sammy turned out to not be a very good person.Ex-New York Knick Samuel Dalembert Ices Out Hoboken Tenants, City Says

I agree with you, but the reaction of some on this board would be brutal.
Baby steps lets see if $75 is even feasible with this admin and fan base
You would want people to actually show, right?
This board represents the diehards. They’ve made it so the rest of the base needs to be cultivated. They’ve put themselves in too bad of a place to demand asks like that right now.
