    • Recruiting, Seton Hall

    Anthony Nelson, the 6-foot-4, 175-pound Class of 2018 point guard from the NY Lightning and South Kent (CT), committed to Seton Hall on Tuesday night.

    Nelson also considered Dayton and Minnesota.

    “I picked Seton Hall because I wanted to be close to home and I felt like it was a good situation for me,” he told ZAGSBLOG.”

    Nelson will have a chance to learn from two former point guards in head coach Kevin Willard and associate head coach Shaheen Holloway. He will enter Seton Hall after they lose senior point guard Khadeen Carrington and will compete with current freshman Jordan Walker for time at the point.

    NEW YORK — Kevin Willard and the Seton Hall Pirates have made the NCAA Tournament in each of the past two seasons.

    But each time, they were saddled with an unfavorable seed or an unfavorable first-round opponent — or both.

    In 2016, the Pirates got a No. 6 seed. Their reward? A trip to Denver for a Gonzaga team seeded at No. 11, and a prompt 68-52 first-round exit.

    In 2017, Seton Hall earned a No. 9 seed and faced No. 8 Arkansas in Greenville, S.C. Once again, the Pirates were bounced in the first round, 77-71.

    “Obviously, if you just look at the history of the [NCAA] Tournament the lower seed obviously you’re going to have such a better chance of advancing,” Willard told me at Big East Media Day, where the Pirates were picked to finish second in the league behind defending champion Villanova.

    Jake Forrester, the 6-foot-9, 210-pound power forward from the Westtown (PA) School and the PSA Cardinals AAU program, took the first of five scheduled visits to Seton Hall late this week.

    “It was really fun, they showed a lot of love,” he said Saturday by phone. “The campus is a lot bigger than I thought it was. I had a good time.”

    Ranked the No. 23 power forward in the Class of 2018 per 247Sports.com, Forrester visited Seton Hall unofficially in June.

    “I saw campus then, but all we did was tour the gym, sort of,” he said of the unofficial.
