The forgotten basketball recruiting class of 2000

The 2014 Seton Hall men’s basketball recruiting class will never be forgotten.

Getting ready for his fifth season as head coach, Kevin Willard made a splash. He was able to muster up a top-20 recruiting class according to 247Sports, which included a 5-star in Isaiah Whitehead. Not too shabby either was another 4-star center by the name of Angel Delgado and a few other medium-rated guys in Khadeen Carrington, Desi Rodriguez, Ishmael Sanogo and Michael Nzei.

Of course, the rest is history. Whitehead led Seton Hall to a 6-seed during his sophomore season and departed to the NBA, and the rest of the guys became four-year starters on perennial tournament teams.
