Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Huge pick up for Willard! Carrington attends Bishop Loughlin High School, where he averaged 24.7 points per game as a junior and he's just 140 points away from becoming the school’s all-time leading scorer (current Villanova Wildcat, JayVaughn Pinkston holds the school record). He's also Angel Delgado's AAU teamate.

Here's Zags take:

"The verbal pledges of Delgado and Carrington are huge pluses for head coach Kevin Willard, who has relied on foreign players in recruiting over his first several years. These commits show he can break into the fertile New York City area and land players. Seton Hall hopes it’s not done, either. Brooklyn Lincoln guard Isaiah Whitehead is due to visit campus on Saturday."

SHU!

Here's the Post's Zach Brazziller take on Khadeen to SHU:

"Carrington is a 6-3 slashing guard. Tons of ability. Interesting."

Right now this is SHU's 2014 class:

4* PF 6-8 Angel Delgado, NY
4* SG 6-3 Khadeen Carrington, NY
3* SF 6-6 Ish Sanogo, NJ (He's from Newark so likely 4* talent...manimal!)

SHU stepping up it's recruiting game in the Big East 2.0.

Looks like a consensus top 150 recruit with great high major offers, congrats! If you can get Whitehead, holy crap, that would be HUGE.

From your lips to God's ears! The Pirates are back!

Can't even wrap my head around that. It would be a top 5 recruiting class all-time at SHU. But the thing about all three of these recruits is they are all under ranked/scouted...Willard got them to commit before the ranking system has really caught up to them. I expect Delgado to be consensus Top 40-50, Carrington Top 75, & Sanogo Top 150-200.

Here's Braziller comparing Carrington to Whitehead:

"The 6-foot-3 guard from Bishop Loughlin has emerged as one of the top prospects in New York City this summer, a rising junior with loads of Division I scholarship offers some feel is on par with Lincoln dynamo Isaiah Whitehead as the top player in the area for the Class of 2014."

Jeez, you guys are getting a little greedy. Maybe share with your conference mates sometime?

On a more serious note, congrats on a great get and an excellent class. The Hall could be a beast in the very near future. Go kill it in the non-con, guys.

I think we shared quite nicely, almost to the point of starving ourselves to death! Lol! Glad we found our way back to the buffet table!

Of course signing Whitehead would be bonkers, but if not I got my eye on 4* C Quadri Moore out of Jersey to round out our 4 man class (SG, SF, PF, C). Moore is deciding soon & is down to SHU & Cincy (just like Carrington was!).

Wow.

Great news for Seton Hall. Congrats.
