NEW YORK — Seton Hall freshman Myles Powell weighed as much as 240 pounds this summer after re-injuring the left foot he initially broke last October.

The 6-foot-2 shooting guard from Trenton, N.J., re-injured the foot in February, left South Kent (Conn.) soon after and arrived on Seton Hall’s campus in May.

From there on, he tried to drop as much weight as he could

“They brought me in to school in May, I started May 25th and they didn’t allow me to go home, I just stayed up there every day,” Powell told me Saturday night at the Sharette Dixon Classic at Gauchos Gym.

“Every day, Monday through Friday, I was just pushing myself every day,” he added. “The trainer that we have, Jason [Nehring], he pushed me every day, even when I thought I couldn’t, he pushed me every day.”

NEW YORK — Chris Mullin has been keeping an eye on the social protests going on around the sports world and plans to sit down with his players soon to discuss potential options for the St. John’s basketball team.

From Colin Kaepernick to Carmelo Anthony to players in the WNBA, protesting social injustice has become a major issue in pro sports over the last few weeks. And with college basketball season now underway, it is becoming an important topic at the university level, too. Virginia players already posted a photo on social media of the team kneeling in protest of social injustice.

“Probably within the next week or so as a team, we’ll have a nice sit down, just a team meeting, little town meeting type thing, and get everyone’s feelings and just really use it as a teaching tool,” Mullin, a Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer, said Tuesday at Big East Media Day at Madison Square Garden.
