If we can't have him I'd rather it was someone in the league. Good luck!

So really the decision came down to two schools and there were a couple of reasons he went with Seton Hall over St. John’s. The biggest is because Whitehead has a strong desire to make a name for himself. Going to Lincoln High School he was constantly compared to former Coney Island standouts Lance Stephenson, Sebastian Telfair and even Stephon Marbury and all throughout he declared in defiance, “I’m Isaiah Whitehead.”

What better way to make his own name than to avoid Indiana, where Stephenson plays for the Pacers, and to join and revive a dormant Seton Hall program.

“I think all of the other schools have a player that they honor and look up to and tell you about that went there before,” Whitehead explained. “I just picked Seton Hall because I want to be their guy and I want to take that program and turn it around. That’s the way I’m going to make a name for myself."
