Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Seton Hall took an interesting recruiting approach the other day, extending a group offer to the entire starting 5 of an AAU team to come play together in college. They're all class of 2018 recruits, so we won't see if they pull this off for a while. It'll also be fairly difficult to pull off as some of the 5 already have some very impressive high major offers, but the players do seem to be interested in Seton Hall essentially offering them the opportunity to keep the team together. It'll be interesting to see what happens. They'd be in good shape if they can land just 2 or 3 of these guys, but all 5 could potentially be program changing. It might be worth extending an offer to the coach as well to turn the 'fab 5' into a 'super 6' . Link to the story is below:

Act of desperation by a coach who will not likely be at the school by these kids' junior yr of high school. A gimmick looking for attention.

Bad idea, if you get them, they will be an automatic divide on the team

Likely true, but if you're Kevin Willard you've gotta try something creative to get players right? He doesn't exactly have a great history of winning or putting kids in the NBA to sell recruits on, so he needs to go outside the box, especially with his job on the line. He saved his job once with a big recruiting class so he's trying to do it again.
