Seton Hall signed Aaron Geramipoor, a frontcourt player originally from Manchester, England.

The 6-foot-11, 225-pound Geramipoor was a teammate of Patrik Auda at the Canarias Basketball Academy in the Canary Islands, Spain.  Auda signed to play basketball at Seton Hall in May.

“Adding another talent from the Canarias Basketball Academy, one the premier schools in Europe, will bolster our frontcourt lineup for next year and beyond,” Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard said.  “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.” (more…)

Elijah Carter has decommitted from St. Bonaventure and intends to spend next year at a prep school.

“I’m opening up my recruitment,” Carter said Saturday by phone. “St. Bonaventure is still my top school.”

Carter, a 6-foot-2, 185-pound guard from Jersey City (N.J.) St. Anthony, decided he needed a year to mature.

“I’m doing a year of prep school,” he said. “I’m looking at Winchendon (Mass.) and Brewster (N.H.) and a couple other schools right now. Me and my parents came to an agreement that I needed to mature as a player and a person.” (more…)

While the Jordan Brand Classic games were going on Saturday at Madison Square Garden, Elijah Carter was up in Bridgeport, Conn., playing in the JCC Schoolboy Classic.

Carter, a 6-foot-2, 185-pound guard from Jersey City (N.J.) St. Anthony who has signed with St. Bonaventure, played every minute of the game because his team brought only six players.

And he still dropped a game-high 42 points in New Jersey’s 124-119 double-OT loss to Connecticut.

It was the most points scored in the event since Jeff Ruland dropped 45 in 1977, according to the Stamford Advocate. Aishon White, an uncommitted guard from Union, N.J., added 39 points. (more…)
