  • Both Seton Hall and Rutgers have made a collective offer to the Sports U Class of 2018 “Fab Five” and on Thursday both New Jersey programs had players from the vaunted group on campus.

    Seton Hall hosted the Hudson Catholic trio of Jahvon Quinerly, Luther Muhammad and Louis King — all of whom have been on campus several times before.

    “Everything was good,” the 6-foot-8 King told SNY.tv of the open gym in which he and his teammates participated. “The message is to keep working hard and keep up the good work.”

    Seton Hall on Wednesday also hosted St. Raymond’s Class of 2017 point guard Isiaah Washington.

    The Sports U trio of Naz Reid, Louis King and Jahvon Quinerly headline the local contingent for the Under Armour Elite 24, which released its rosters Thursday afternoon for the Aug. 20 game at Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 2.

    New York City natives Sid Wilson, Nick Richards, Hamidou Diallo and Moses Brown will also play in a game featuring top-end talent from across the country. Among the five-star recruits on the rosters are Trevon Duval, Kevin Knox and Brandon McCoy.

    Sources previously told SNY.tv that Duval, Reid, Quinerly, King, Brown and Wilson were invited to Elite 24.

    Like last summer’s Elite 24, this year’s edition is coinciding with Nike putting on an event in the Bahamas, designed to draw players away from the UA event. Last year’s Nike event pulled in Duke freshmen Harry Giles and Jayson Tatum among others.

    Las Vegas Prospects guard Troy Brown, Houston Hoops forward Jarred Vanderbilt and Wendell Carter Jr. of CP3 are expected to make the Nike trip.

    NEW YORK — Moses Brown, the 7-foot-1, 224-pound Class of 2018 center from Archbishop Molloy and the New Heights AAU program, will continue his breakout summer by playing in the Under Armour Elite 24 Game on Aug. 20 in Brooklyn.

    Brown joins several area stars, including the Sports U trio of Naz Reid, Jahvon Quinerly and Louis King, in the prestigious event which will be shown live on ESPNU (7:30 p.m.).

    “I feel like I had a great summer, a breakout summer,” Brown told SNY.tv at the recent Entertainers Basketball Classic at Rucker Park. “I was injured last year so it was good.”
