With a major need for size, highly touted recruiter and head coach Bobby
Gonzalez hit the recruiting trail hard. He landed 6’11’’ 255-pound center Mike
Davis, 6’10’’ 240-pound juco transfer Augustine Okosun, 6’9’’ Brandon Walters
and 6’6’’ brick house Michael Glover-brother of former St. Johns’ standout
Anthony Glover. These guys look like a promising crew for the future, but won't
be ready to star just yet.
Seton Hall’s backcourt features the Big East’s top two returning scores in Brian
Laing and Eugene Harvey. Laing and Harvey both averaged 16.5 points per game
last season with Laing also averaging 6.7 assists per contest. A capable big is
what is standing in the way of Seton Hall returning to form as a national
player. 6’9’’ John Garcia could be the post presence the Pirates have been
looking for if he can stay healthy.
Seton Hall’s up-tempo style makes them a difficult matchup in almost every game
they play. We feel confident that the Pirates will improve on last season’s four
Big East wins. This team is capable of a six to seven Big East wins this year.
With improved Big East play, the Pirates should boost their wins total by as
many as five wins this season, perhaps climbing from 13 to 18 victories. We
don’t have Seton Hall emerging to the NCAA Tourney, but their tough schedule
should make them a lock for the NIT.
The backcourt is not the problem. Seton Hall has great guard depth and explosive
scoring. Laing and Harvey definitely do not weaken the Big East’s reputation as
a guard conference. As I’ve mentioned before, the frontcourt will hold this team
back and will separate them from the league’s elite.
Seton Hall will likely plateau, if not take a step back, next season after
losing Laing. When Harvey is a senior, if he sticks around, Seton Hall should
get back to the dance, which I’m sure you die-hard Pirates fans will be glad to
know.
