Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein 10m10 minutes agoGreetings from South Orange. Here for Seton Hall practice. Pivotal year ahead for the Pirates. #shbb
Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein 43s43 seconds agoSeton Hall is deeper, longer, and bigger than they've been under Kevin Willard. Overall team skill level though is still in question. #shbb
Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein 4m4 minutes agoSeton Hall made 213 three-point shots last year as a team. 159 of those shots were made by players who are no longer on the roster. #shbb
Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein 1m1 minute agoPalpable buzz at Seton Hall surrounding 6-7 freshman Veer Singh. Solid standstill shooter. High IQ. Not a great athlete. Blend guy. #shbb
Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein 41s41 seconds agoThe forgotten piece in Seton Hall's program is 6-7 PF Mike Nzei. Was a partial qualifier last year. Brings energy and intangibles. #shbb
Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein 2m2 minutes agoEarly prediction on Seton Hall's starting five: Isaiah Whitehead, Khadeen Carrington, Desi Rodriguez, Mike Nzei, Angel Delgado. #shbb
Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein 1m1 minute agoWill be interesting to see how Seton Hall's offense flows early w Isaiah Whitehead at PG. Terrific passer, but in entirely new role. #shbb
Same as what Jerry Carino posted the other day. Clearly the info is coming from Willard.

Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein 1m1 minute agoNova, Gtown, Butler, & Xavier are clearly the top 4 teams in the Big East. SHU in that next tier. Could finish anywhere bw 5 & 10. #shbb
Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein 56s57 seconds agoDesi Rodriguez also shifting to a new role this year for Seton Hall. Will be on the wing instead of inside. Pirates have length. #shbb
Though we didn't see it last year, I think Ish is a kid who can guard post players bigger than him. Desi, Mike and Angel are three kids fast off their feet and guys like that have hurt us often. Hope Mike/Ish and/or someone else can give Angel some comfort down low so he can defend with more consistency that he did last year in the BE. Would be great if the Desi we see is the Desi Dan saw last year in the early practices when he said he was ripping it up. Mike and Desi on the break is gonna be great excitement.

Pretty easy to zone this lineup out of any offensive flow. Who is going to hit the three when IW looks to kick it out when he drives the lane? Carrington at 28%, Desi at 8%? Absolutely no offensive balance on this starting 5. You only IW that can hit the 3 on the floor and he is the PG.
Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein 16m16 minutes agoTwo consistent themes I've seen at every program I've visited with this year: 1. More zone in practice 2. More token pressure in practice
That is about as negative I have seen Rothstein write about a program. I feel the same way. Don't see how this team
is any better than last season. Way too many question marks besides Delgado.

That's something all imperfect teams face. Various weakness.
In our case lack of guard depth, shooting from the arc and quality size behind Delgado.
Hopefully Carrington and Veer will help with the long range shooting and Ish, Anderson, Carter and Nzei with the quality big man depth.
We will again have issues in the half court set so expect this team to play fast open court BB.
Also that starting five is pretty good on D.
Not a ringing endorsement from Mr Positive, that's for sure.
Color me more optimistic.
How many of us have been saying that since the rule went into effect this summer?

Overall team skill is the most important component for a teams success, especially with KW at the helm. Yikes! Apparently, overall team numbers, height and size are obvious. (I think a blind man could make that observation) what he didn't see is scary.
Seton Hall is deeper, longer, and bigger than they've been under Kevin Willard. Overall team skill level though is still in question. #shbb
If IW and Carrington step up to run the team effectively (and make up Gibbs numbers) than we can be a better team with better D. Both of them have everything in their toolbox to do this. Our forwards would have to make up for Mobley's production

For years Georgetown and Pittsburgh had teams that couldn't shoot straight but had pretty good years. Of course everything else they did, they did very well! Just saying.

This is probably true.
