Clark
- Thread starter Halldan
- Start date
With Budd and Hines back next year, we are NCAA bound almost regardless of who we surround them with. A huge percentage of the NIL budget should be allocated to bringing them back. Get it done Shaheen.
Clark named 1st Team All-BE Tournament.
Only Guard on the team with 2 Bigs and 3 Forwards. One of the biggest weaknesses with our roster this year was matching up with teams with athletic, physical forwards.

That’s true, but clearly the biggest weakness was making 3s and just putting the ball in the basket.
I hope a few of our guys stay but nobody is needed to stay. There’s over 3,500 players and about 2,500 will transfer, if we can’t find upgrades shame on us. None of our guys will be top 50 transfers on the market.
I want Clark for sure. He dominates a game at his size on both ends of the floor. Clearly a leader and if we surround him with consistent 3 point shooters, he will be only more effective.
However, he has to commit to shooting at least 3 3 point attempts a game. It has to be a focus and his stroke looks good. If he shoots 30%, completely opens up the floor.

No I way, would still need a ton more, I don’t expect the Big East to be as weak as it was this season.
Best I can figure this is the breakdown
eligibility left:
Clark
Dar
Erheriene
Felton
Hines
Mbaye
Parker
Simpkins
Williams
Could probably pursue a medical redshirt:
Suemnick
Out of Eligibility:
Fisher
Gabriel
Payne
Rivera
Station-McCray
That's a pretty strong core of by some miracle everyone stays, then add a PF and 2 or 3 legit shooters to the list. I know posters will get on me it'll never happen, but as a fan you can always dream.
Hard to imagine all nine returning and it strikes me as:
- Two legit BE starters (Clark/Hines)
- Four rotation players (Williams, Simpkins, Parker, Dar)
Need at least two higher level starters (PF and 2G/wing) and one solid rotation player PF/C combo.
I’d like to see all the players who still have eligibility to come back next year. Especially a core of Clark, Hines, Simpkins, Williams, Parker, and hopefully Dar. Probably unrealistic to think it’s going to happen, but would be good for Shaheeen and staff to get some continuity. From there, we need to bring a a legit PF/C 6/8+ guy who can rebound and hopefully can have some outside offense. Obviously we need a legit 3pt shooter or 2 to help keep teams honest Defensively.
Is the NIL budget in the ballpark of $8M? It’s still not optimal relatively speaking, but I think the above is possible With that budget even if Clark/Hines end up having to take up $3M+ of that budget.

Don’t you think that’s why Shas name is being floated around? Or is it to get himself more $$?
How is it the commish fault for compositions of rosters and results out of conf?
Names floated around means nothing. They are simply rumors you hear about many coaches at this time of the year. I strongly believe he's going nowhere.
When 7 of the 11 teams finish .500 or worse on the season, which includes a number of cupcakes, the buck stops with who? Don't they get TV revenue share money? Are they getting enough? What is she getting paid for if it's not to keep the big east brand strong? Granted times have changed but over 70% of the big east used to get into the tournament. Now 2 times in 3 years over 70% of the league has been left out. If they're paying her just to hand out big east trophies and distribute the money, any schmuck here can do that for 1/3 the price.
She brokered their new media rights more diversity. She got them a brand partnership with investcoqqq. She just watched sellout after sellout take place this week while other conferences dont have that demand.
Since reformation this will be the 2nd time they have had 3 teams only selected. 2 years ago so many bid stealers changed the bottom of the at-large pool. This year 3 teams only deserve to go.
Did she tell Shaheen and felt to schedule how they did in the ooc?
Seton Hall absolutely needs to retain them for the purpose of keeping the fan base engaged and enthusiastic. The continuity would be refreshing and a sign we’re capable of keeping our top talent.
Losing Clark or Hines, especially to a BE peer, would be a gut punch. Keep the momentum going!
Sellout after sellout would've happened regardless with SJU and UConn being elite.
Regardless of the financial decision, shouldn’t a decision have been made, like, months ago?
How is Sha supposed to start negotiating and allocating if he still has no idea what he bottom line is? These guys are out the door in 3 weeks if we don’t play ball.
If Hines and/or Clark don’t return it’s going to be a real kick in the you-know-what to the fans and the few die hards we have left, I don’t think are interested in watching 12 new guys next year.
I have no idea what's in his mind. That said, IMO he doesn't deserve a raise this year as he didn't deserve a reduction in his contract last year.
Combine the two season and his record is 28-37
Idk how much it matters because we don’t really want Sha negotiating or allocating lol but point taken
We just need to keep a core (they obviously work well with Sha) and add a few pieces and just hope we win more games next year
Engaged? I could've brought a beach blanket and laid out over 10 seats at most of the games.
But seriously Seton Hall fan's infatuation with Seton Hall people is over the top. We need a Seton Hall guy to coach Seton Hall. No we don't we did just fine with PJ, Amaker and Willard. None were SH guys. If we got a shot at a better PG than Clark you wouldn't take him? It's the sucky part of today's landscape. I don't believe in doing business like that, but almost every one of these players is looking at it from that perspective, so coaches should too. You have to try to upgrade everywhere if you could because if you're not, everyone else is.
I agree with this to a point. I hate today's landscape, but really good programs are interested in 12 new players if it takes them to the next level. Gone are the days of watching a Myles Powell, Khadeen Carrington, etc grow. I miss that more than anything,
Not sure most schools, especially the non elite ones would make that decision so early. That said, I'm sure the Pirates have some idea but not the final one. They need to know the market and months ago that market wasn't established yet. Now as we get closer the school will have to finalize a number. I pray it's a least $8M because anything less is going to ruin the momentum of this year.
As one poster yesterday mentioned, it's becoming a never ending arms race. It's 8M next year, 10M the following year and before you know it you will need 15M.
Not sure how some still question this young man. As I see it he's a must stay at the Hall.
A must stay if we can't get any better. There's a saying every business is for sale, it just depends on the price someone is willing to pay. In modern college athletics every player is replaceable, it just depends on what you can get. If you're a believer we can't do any better, then yes he's a must stay. It's not a knock on any player in the land, it's just the disgusting part of the game today.
