Aaron Geramipoor Seton Hall

Aaron will be lacing his shoes for Seton Hall next season

Aaron Geramipoor has signed a letter of intent to attend NCAA Division 1 school Seton Hall University next season. Geramipoor is a 6’11 245lb big man who originally hails from Manchester and has spent last season at the Canarias Basketball Academy.

Head Coach Kevin Willard is extremely excited about having him;

“Aaron is incredibly long and has great tools for a man his size. We look forward to his growth in our system and believe he can be a real asset moving forward.”

Last season, he averaged over 20 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks per game.  He is currently playing with the England under-18′s as they prepare for their European Championship in Israel.

Seton Hall Pirates play in the competitive Big East conference and last year finished a solid 19-13 before losing in the first round of the NIT.

Hoopsfix wants to wish Aaron all the best with his college career, I will be following!

Seton Hall is an interesting situation. Last year they had a very dysfunctional team largely thanks to having a nutter (Bobby Gonzalez) for a coach, but now they’ve brought in Kevin Willard who did a terrific job at Iona (and has a history of recruiting British players having brought Ben Mockford there). Hopefully Aaron will do well there.

Dysfuntional team. Well if thats the case i would love to hear your reasons on how they managed a 19-13 record in the big east last year which is a competitive conferance and you cant manage that without efficiency and order!!! And your explination on how they are predicted to be top 25 this season? thats not because of the coach thats because the kids are ready and experienced and have shown the ability. And because the new coach has taken ONE english player before does not mean he has a record of recruiting english talent. Once he has signed 1 or 2 more players after aaron then maybe you can say a pattern and a record has emerged.
This is the problem with the english and british…as soon as someone does well you have to throw out negatives about what they have done and try to recover it by putting a weak “i hope he does well” at the end.
The kids work hard and people who have most likely never been in the same situation going to a high pressuered situation such as a Big East and Potential top 25 school CAN NOT COMMENT!!!
