I’m not sure when the last time Seton Hall or Northwestern was competing with Indiana for a high-level recruit, but we appear to have that situation on our hands with Jaren Sina’s recruitment.
The Gill St. Bernard’s point guard confirmed to SNY.tv that he had cut Alabama from his list and is now down to Indiana, Northwestern and Seton Hall.
He will trip to Indiana April 24 and then attempt to make a decision in the following days. Indiana is now in need of additional backcourt help with the transfer of guard Remy Abell.
“It’s a great opportunity just to have that option, but at the same time I gotta make sure it’s the right fit for me and my style,” Sina told SNY.tv Saturday at the Jordan Brand Classic.
Sina had initially committed to Alabama but after meeting with head coach Anthony Grant recently, he opted to trim them from his list.
Northwestern coach Chris Collins visited Sina Sunday and the player said it “went well.”
Meantime, former Northwestern assistant Freddie Hill is now at Seton Hall, and the Pirates are hoping that connection facilitates a Sina commitment.
We probably won’t know much more until after the Indiana visit.
But for now, Seton Hall and Northwestern are hanging tight with Indiana.
