Elijah Burns Adds BC, Seton Hall Offers

Boston College and Seton Hall are the latest schools to offer Elijah Burns, a 6-foot-8 2015 forward from Blair (N.J.) Academy.

“BC offered on the 12th and Seton Hall on the 4th,” Burns told SNY.tv. “I’m still learning about each school.”

Temple has also seen Burns several times, and head coach Fran Dunphy is expected to see him again.

Georgetown and others are also involved, as we previously reported here.

“Elijah is a versatile forward with a high skill level and equally high basketball IQ,” Blair coach Joe Mantegna told SNY.tv. “He is just beginning to turn the corner.”

After playing the Hun School tonight (Wednesday), Blair faces St. Anthony Saturday in the Dan Finn Classic.
