Anderson spurns The Hall for UCLA

Number 5 prospect in the country and St. Anthony's (Jersey City) guard Kyle Anderson committed to UCLA on Monday after a long recruiting trail of teams that was narrowed down to Seton Hall and UCLA. The Hall gave the best effort with Kevin Willard doing a tremendous job to try and land the 5 star prospect but in the end the Pirates could not come up with the prized recruit. The last recruit that generated so much buzz for the Pirates was Eddie Griffin in 2000. Even the loyal supporters of the Pirates tried to convince Anderson to head to South Orange by having 125 of their own head to Walsh Gym for a few of his fall league games. Anderson handled the matter very well though and notified the coaching staff before his public announcement.
