How any kid would choose Seton Hall over STJ is beyond me. Star on Broadway, or take your talents to Newark? If he wants to be the face of the program, it won't shine very brightly in the swamps of New Jersey.
Curious to your thoughts on this... how do you think Kyle Andserson would be looking if he went to SHU instead of UCLA - I think he would have been better sereved for his future at Seton Hall. He would have been the man on the team from Day, played on the fringe of the media capital of the world and would have put up much bigger numbers. He might have put up numbers that would have had him in last years draft.
At UCLA he had a solid season on a decent team but was far from the star and that is not going to change this year. He now facing being part of the 2014 NBA Draft that some people are saying could be one of the best ever in terms of potential talent.
I am not saying SHU over SJU is the better choice in most cases but for some kids, its the right fit.
Are you saying a SHU team that went 3-15 in the BE would have been better then a UCLA team that went 13-5 in the PAC 12 if you flipped Anderson to SHU from UCLA? REALLY?
Keep in mind UCLA loss Hassan Adams late in the year, HUGE LOSS. That kid is better then anyone on SHU hurt or otherwise.
Do you have reading comprehension issues - how could you come upo with that from my posts..? Unless you are just looking for an arumentwith me, which I never doubt...

But isn't that really an argument for why Kyle should have gone to SHU over UCLA? Not necessarily St Johns.
And I agree with you, if KA had been at SHU last year he may have had a big year, gets BE Rookie of the Year, and who knows? Maybe he's a lottery pick. That's pretty much what Harkless did for us. Seton Hall isn't always a poor choice for an elite player.
But KA could have done something similar at SJU last season. We werent as stacked as UCLA. He wouldn't have been the only option, like maybe he wouldve at the Hall, but he could've still been a focal point.
No I do not.
The focal point issue could be used for any big time kid who goes to known program with other stars.
The answer is no. Kentucky went to the NIT last year are you saying those kids could have enhanced their NBA profile better by going to SHU?
I did not misunderstand you, the answer is no I do not believe he would have enhanced his NBA profile one bit more at SHU. He was second team ALL PAC 12 and on the ALL FRESHMEN team at UCLA. There us nothing to suggest he would have done anything significantly better at SHU.

I'm not PMG, if you want to pick fights with him, that's your business. But respond to his post then.
But, for what it's worth, it's pretty clear you didn't understand him, because you asked "Are you saying a SHU team that went 3-15 in the BE would have been better then a UCLA team that went 13-5 in the PAC 12 if you flipped Anderson to SHU from UCLA? REALLY?
" No one was discussing whether SHU would've been better than UCLA.
But in response to your question, Yes. Alex Poythress was a top 15 player who was overshadowed at UK. If he plays at Seton Hall, or any number of other schools he could've been showcased, and gone in this year's draft. The same could be be said for KA. If he plays on a team without Shabazz, he would've had to shoulder much more of the scoring load, and that could've impressed scouts.
