Jaren Sina, a 6-foot-1 sharpshooting point guard from Gil St. Bernard’s in New Jersey was a one-time commitment to Alabama. Now his recruitment seems to be more concentrated closer to home, specifically among Big East schools.
“Obviously Alabama is still in the mix,” he told NBE Sports on Friday. “We have Virginia, we have a couple Big East schools that are pretty heavy. I mean Rutgers, Seton Hall, Pittsburgh, [then there’s] Northwestern and some Big Ten schools. Just a lot of Big East/ACC schools.”
His high school coach, and father, Mergin Sina is counseling him through the recruiting process. They plan to cut the list of schools down after the busy July period. Sina did hint that staying in the Northeast is a strong possibility.
“There’s a pretty good chance I stay in the area with Pittsburgh, Rutgers, and Seton Hall,” he said, adding that Northwestern and Virginia were also recruiting him pretty hard, which in the end will make them intriguing options too.
The changes in the Big East is something Sina is watching closely, but he knows the conference will still be a top-notch destination for basketball.
“It’s still going to be a great conference no matter what,” said Sina.
