    2013 Elite 24

    Isaiah Whitehead is the first Seton Hall commit to make the McDonald’s All-American game since Andre Barrett and the late Eddie Griffin in 2000 and the first New York City player since Loughlin’s JayVaughn Pinkston in 2010.

    Heading into Wednesday night’s game, the 6-foot-4 Whitehead has already impressed at least one NBA scout in attendance in Chicago.

    “Whitehead can shoot it,” the scout told SNY.tv. “Whitehead looks like a good player to me, that’s a good player for Seton Hall to get.

    “He’s a good driver, good pull-up jumper, strong.”

    Asked about his NBA potential, the scout said, “It’s too soon for that. Let’s watch his growth at Seton Hall.”

    Whitehead is part of a loaded five-man recruiting class at Seton Hall that also includes his Lincoln teammate Desi Rodriguez, Khadeen Carrington of Bishop Loughlin, Angel Delgado of The Patrick School and Ismael Sanogo of Newark East Side.
