Has the Hall become the hot school?

[Redfaced]

What does Delgado, Whitehead, Larrier and Carrington all have in common? They have all shown a greater degree of interest in the Hall over us. So my question then is why? Surely the coaching staff at the Hall does not have the reputation or charismatic personality of coach Lavin and staff so what's going on. Every time I read Zags blog it's about another player that we once were involved with now taking an official visit to the Hall. I am a little surprised to say the least in this turn of events.

And please, let's stop with the excuse that these kids, players want immediate playing time. As of next year, this team does not even have a legit player at the 4 position so there is plenty of playing time available there. So what's going on at the Hall?

First of all, Delgado followed Antigua.

Secondly, I doubt they land either Whitehead or Larrier.

Thirdly, I'm not too high with Carrington (a few others here feel the same).

Lastly, who cares?!

Are you just trying to stir the pot?
Could it be Zag"s is doing them a little favour?
In any event lets look at the facts before the hysteria pervades.
Delgado followed his coach to the Hall, no more no less.
Whitehead and Carrington are 2 guards. For the next two seasons we have Dlo and Green, and have very little pt to offer a recruit at that position next year. Furthermore, we have Felix who will be a junior next season who most are very high on. While it would be nice to get Carrington what could he be promised? If you work super hard for two years you will have the opportunity to pass Felix on the depth chart in two years. Does not sound too attractive to the me I want it immediately generation.
Larrier is a small forward and at present we have Jakaar and Sir Dom. Same logic applies and none of us knows how long Jakaar will be on campus.
Good try with the tragedy but I don't buy into it for one second.

Jakarr is not a legit player at the 4 position?

Because Lavin backed off each one of them.

Look, the staff knows something that none of us are aware of.

As the past 2 years have shown us, we've done most of our recruiting damage after the early signing period, not before.

If the staff isn't sweating yet, neither should we.

They've landed one player out of that group, and that kid followed HIS COACH. Seton Hall has had hands down the worst recruiting out of the three NYC-area majors the last four years. Whitehead and Carrington are guards that probably want to play right away. We were just brought up in the conversation as one of the best backcourts in the country, and all of our backcourt players are juniors or younger.

I really wanted Larrier, but he is just one player. Whitehead would be great, but if he is only going to stay for a year, we could do better. Seton Hall could land all of the players you listed and I would still take our group over them. Stop stirring the pot. In Lavin I trust.

Must be the Fred Hill factor !! LOL !!!

 

[NYCRedmen]

Personally I'd love to see The Hall and us become relevant at the same time again. Having 2 teams with such close proximity to each other would make for a fun rivalry like it was in the early 90s. They still have ways to go but maybe this is their first step.

 

[nymase]

Typical realfan trolling thread where he has to take a shot at Lavin....Most everyone can see right through this BS and I'm not sure why he's allowed to continue to troll here...It really takes away from the site, IMO

 

[MJDinkins]

Some good responses to the OP, which was made in an attempt to stir the pot and troll.

Kudos! He got what he wanted.

Excellent point! The BE needs a stronger Seton Hall in the NYC area and they need to become the best in the state.

You guys probably know his style better than me since I'm still fairly new to this. But can we please stop calling for people's heads who have the "audacity" to have a different opinion? IMO it's refreshing and makes for a much more lively forum. There seems to be some strange sentiment that being positive is always the right and truthful outlook. Just because someone questions our program or coach does not mean he's "trolling", but simply has another opinion that he's entitled to. This is a constant vibe I've noticed on this forum with many different people. Trolling is when people purposely go on wild tangents or spam a board just to be annoying. Trolling is not the same as having a differing opinion. Just throwing that out there.

You said a mouthful.... You don't know the history of the OP, so why expound on it?

Most people know the difference between differing opinions versus flat-out irrational, stirring the pot crap.

No offense, but I'm not surprised to see you come to the rescue, per se'.

By the way, here is the definition of trolling.....


In Internet slang, a troll is a person troll who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), either accidentally or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

"Deliberate" is the key word. What's the evidence he is purposely trying to stir the pot? From my vantage point all I see is another view on the same topic (he wasn't going off like in your definition of trolling). Some of you need to relax and stop judging people so hard on here. It's a damn forum. This whole high school girl cliques sitting separately in the cafeteria is getting old. We are talking sports...it's supposed to be laid back and safe here, not a high school cafeteria environment. It wouldn't surprise me if it was a forum of 18 yr olds and twentysomethings, but many of you are married with kids. The snide remarks wear on people after a while, and we are all fans of the same team so it makes zero sense. It seems some on here want to be on their own little island full of "yes men" bobbleheads than experience a world of different opinions. Not everything is black and white...some of you forget the grey area.

I, particularly do not have a problem with you (like others have with you), but you don't get it.

Your last sentence is irony at its best. Pot meet kettle. You're certainly one who paints things black and white.

You can make a case that everyone paints things black and white at some point on here, but the difference is that I don't attack people I don't agree with. I will make my case and let them make theirs. When people state their opinions, is it not more mature to hear theirs out before condemning them and belittling them? It would make much more sense to show evidence contrary to their belief instead of calling them a "troll". Some famous scientist once said "When you present an argument and the other side resorts to name calling, it's a flattering sign because you have won". Having a condescending culture on here will definitely not attract new members or encourage passerby's to voice their opinions on here. Fanbases are not supposed to be divided hurling eggs at each other...they should be together despite their various opinions.

With that said I admitted before I'm still fairly new so maybe I missed big developments in the past, but either way he's only one of the people I see getting crucified over different opinions on here.

I am new to posting on this board and I have to agree. There is no reason people can't express there concern over future recruiting without constantly being told it will work out or in Lavin we trust.

Antigua obviously has some cred locally. Would not be surprised if he pleaded with these guys to take unofficials if for no other reason that get Seton Hall's name out there - knowing full well these guys arent going there.
