Philip Flory had long been destined to play college basketball in the Big East. The 6-foot, 5-inch combo guard pledged his commitment to Marquette University before even stepping foot on the high school hardwood. But on Friday, Flory made the realization of playing for a Big East program a reality; not with the Golden Eagles, but with the Pirates of Seton Hall.
Flory tweeted the news of his arrival as a walk-on this afternoon, announcing that he will be continuing his academics and athletic career in South Orange, N.J. A screenshot included in his tweet stated, “I first would like to thank my parents for being there with me through thick and thin and always pushing me.
