2006 BIG EAST EARLY RECRUITING CLASSES: #14 SETON HALL

2006-2007 Projected Roster:

Seniors: Grant Billmeier (C), Jamar Nutter (G), Mani Messy (F), Stan Gaines (F), Carl Marshall (G)
Juniors: Brian Laing (G/F), Marcus Cousin (BF/C), Mike Pilgrim (F)
Sophomores: John Garcia (BF/C), David Palmer (BF), Paul Gause (G)
Freshmen: Malcolm Grant (PG)
----------------------------------------
2007 Commitments: Quincy Owens (PF), Orlando Allen (C)


The uncertain coaching situation at Seton Hall has definitely not helped matters at all with recruiting and a recent loss to Richmond has only made the whispers on Louie Orr's future at SHU much louder. They picked up a very good commitment in the fall from NYC PG Malcolm Grant. Grant is well aware of the questions surrounding Orr and signed scholarship papers with SHU, not a LOI. Scholarship papers bind the school to Grant, but, unlike a LOI, Grant is not bound to SHU. With Grant, the Pirates have one more scholarship open and desperately need a good-sized wing with a knack for scoring, in fact, they desperately need some scoring.

They are actually off to a solid start in 2007 with Owens and Allen, but we will see if either ends up sticking with SHU, because a change looks inevitable.
