I would hold it. We have six new faces in the mix, to replace three out of the mix. That's more than enough depth

Several John Halls out there. Is it the 6'8" kid prepping in North Carolina ? Listed as primarily a sf but if he's a legit 6'8" I think he's a pf who will need to get stronger. Doesn't look like he has the quick feet to be a 3. Looks like the potential to be a nice combo/4 though

It looks like this John Hall went to school in Philadelphia, I'm guessing he might know Derrick Woods. Conjecture about players is the life blood of these boards, we like a number of our recruits, believe they are players, while according to the experts, they were not rated as 4 stars, Schmidt can really to point to past players and say, look at thsese guys they turned out all right. Should be a fun year, you'd have to think Schmidt has the personel in place to push for all forty minutes.

I like what he wrote, sounds like a mature well adjusted young man but is this problematic? college majoring in Sports Management with a minor in Astronomy. Does SBU have these fields?

Jonathan Hall has good #s for possessing only 1 offer from Niagara. Reminds me of Dion who had zero offers after graduation.
Predicting success at the Div I level is not an exact science. Posley was ranked #13 in Illinois in his class but after a college career was ranked #4 against that same players.
At Carver Engineering & Science HS in Phily Jonathan was named 2nd team All City. He played 2 years JV & started Varsity his junior & senior years.
He graduated (took AP math & physics) & went to Standard of Excellence Post Grad Academy where he had 22 ppg, 12 rebounds & shot 42%.
In 2013 for the NJ Select he played 24 games scoring 20 ppg, 10 rebs, 4 blocks, shooting 48% FGs, 34% Treys & 70% from the stripe.
In Dec 2015 he was named "Most Outstanding Player" at the Abington Friends & Coaches VS Cancer Tournament.
According to Newkirk (Director at SEC) Jonathan will get to show his skills at Bona to determine if he will be offered the final ship. If he is offered our staff will have seen something most have overlooked as did EVERY ONE with Dion who became the #4 rebounder in the A10, averaging 17 ppg. Is he another Dion?
Good luck to Jonathan.

He puts up those numbers with those academics and his only offer is Niagara? What is he, a 6'3" PF?

Jonathan is 6'8"/ 210 with a good frame. Who could have predicted that a skinny Dion out of HS at 6'7" would grab 9 rebs a game!
