A Hall hoophead’s dream! With a Jerry Walker- Gyrating Joe embrace at the end! Long live Gyrating Joe! Thank you for the Meadowlands memories and for amping us up at the Rock last night after all these years!

@NJHoopsHaven @AsburyParkPress 🫡 thank you Trey!!! 💙

Trey Parker is sticking around, and he's pumped. “This is going to be my breakout year.” Seton Hall’s lone holdover on his return, development under Sha, offseason focus, relationship with Del Jones, and more: app.com/story/sports/c… via @asburyparkpress

@FriardUp THANK YOU.

Hines going to UConn is disrespectful. Some transfers be like that.

@TomCrean @Smitgotem_ @SetonHallMBB You always stick up for the Hall (and similar schools) coach Crean! Thank you!!!!

They have got to get BUYOUTS into these Portal decisions so Schools like @SetonHallMBB can stay in the fight with money to add to their pool. You may lose guys but you’ve got to be able to sign others and no way schools like this will have the 12-15 plus mill so many have now.

@Go_Hall31 @NJHoopsHaven @AsburyParkPress It’s so disappointing that the words Seton Hall weren’t even in his farewell tweet. Now I’m going back to watch the 2000 team win some tournament games on YouTube for some much needed joy

@NJHoopsHaven @AsburyParkPress If anyone comes on here thanking Hines for a great season, then you are part of the problem. Pray to god Trumps EO can help fix this college mess.

Big loss for Seton Hall as standout freshman center Najai Hines announces his intention to enter the portal. Here's more on a reality check about the Pirates' place in the resource landscape: app.com/story/sports/c… via @asburyparkpress

@BigEastBarroom Danny Hurley being such a classic Jersey basketball psychopath and former Hall player makes it so easy to cheer for Uconn anytime except for when they play us haha! Bigeast > everybody!!

If you rewatch that first half and you think UConn is going to win that game, you’re insane. Those players would run through an absolute brick wall for that man.

@HallHoopsHQ This is fantastic!

Shaheen Holloway’s spirit lives on in the tournament.

@AdamZagoria @SetonHallFan This makes me feel better, Adam! I couldn’t understand this decision as anything other than the guys wanna transfer immediately that’s why they don’t want to play. Hopefully retain!

When Seton Hall won the NIT in 2024, players like Kadary Richmond and Dre Davis were boosting their transfer portal stock by playing into April. “The goal is to retain as many of them as possible,” Holloway said of his current team.

@JadenSayNoMore We love you Jaden!!! So grateful you guys chose to do the NIT and that I got to experience the magic in Walsh! But NCAA snub of the century for the Hall that year smh

Kinda don’t blame him too much. I would have done the same thing in 2024 with Seton Hall. However 15 Losses is too much imo to get an at-large.

@Chewman84820 @NJHoopsHaven Yeah this not only makes me sad as a fan but makes me worried about who’s immediately jumping to the portal. I’d assume all the seniors voted yes to keep playing. I’d assume Sha would’ve wanted them to play.

@NJHoopsHaven That is so sad that players, who have been paid, can decide not to play. So sad. That’s like declining to go into work. This crap needs to end. It should be mandatory to play. No questions asked.

Spoke with Shaheen Holloway and Bryan Felt. There are two outs for the Crown: 1. A coaching change (not relevant here) 2. Not enough players available (relevant -- Sha took a player vote and there were enough no votes to pull out).

@ryanpmulvaney @CoachSha10 @CoachRyanWhalen @RasheenDavis @CoachC_Lowery @HumbleBoone5 @SetonHallMBB Beautifully written! 💙 go Hall!!

A lengthy standing ovation to @CoachSha10 @CoachRyanWhalen @RasheenDavis @CoachC_Lowery Andrew Francis, my guy @HumbleBoone5 in his first year on the staff, and all of @SetonHallMBB for a turnaround season. A statement season, to be sure. From preseason last to regular season 4th ✔️ From 7-25 to 21-12 overall ✔️ From 2-18 to 10-10 conference ✔️ From not being ranked to being ranked in the Top 25 for the first time since the 2021-22 season ✔️ From no NCAA Tournament considerations to a bubble or near-bubble team being publicly debated and considered for a berth to the NCAA Tournament ✔️ From playing on Wednesday in the Big East Tournament (and the infamous 930pm tip) to playing Thursday at 2:30pm ✔️ From not making the Semifinals of the Big East Conference Tournament since 2021 to making the Semifinals ✔️ And, if no NCAA Tournament, then off to Vegas for The Crown ✔️ If that wasn’t enough, Big East Coach of the Year ✔️ unanimous selection ✔️ Most importantly, none of that would be possible without a relentless team in which all SHU fans can - and should - be proud. Kudos to scouting and recruiting. Thank you. Onward. There’s more to come.

@BryFitz @BarstoolBigCat So special indeed!!! 💙 hey! Go hall! Let’s…go…BIG. BLUE!

@DegBio @BarstoolBigCat I remember being in awe at the atmosphere inside the Byrne when he emerged. It was 1992/3 and still so vibrant. You didn’t know when (well at the time I didn’t; prob was always the TV timeout lol). And the place went NUTS. Felt so special. I knew this was my place and people. 🏴‍☠️

What a picture. Wife of the year right there

@BryFitz @BarstoolBigCat Perfectly stated! I was a little kid when he retired and I was so sad! His comeback is what dreams are made of 😂😂💙💙! Got to meet him at the Rock last week and thank him after all these years!

@BarstoolBigCat Long live Gyrating Joe. Brought the house down at home games during the PJ era. His retirement was crushing.

@barstoolsports shupirates.com/news/2013/2/21… That’s the legendary Gyrating Joe!

This Seton Hall Fan Getting His Belly Painted In The Concourse Of MSG Is The Epitome Of Dudes Rock s.barstool.link/c/article-3565…

@NJHoopsHaven Did you get to see gyrating Joe again Jerry? Makes me so freakin happy!!!

PJ Carlesimo and Bruce Hamburger are on press row, taking in the action. PJ posing for a ton of selfies.

@ButTooth1 @NoEscalators YES!!!!! He was at the last home game of the season too! He lives in Spain but seems like he’s coming back more frequently lately! Long live gyrating Joe!!!

@NoEscalators Hall X —- Is that Gyrating Joe from the 1990s?

Dudes rock

@_paulsummers @NJHoopsHaven @SetonHallFan 😭😭 I was so excited to cheer while he danced I didn’t even notice until I rewatched later. Seems like an umbilical hernia. Hope he gets it checked out!

@DegBio @NJHoopsHaven @SetonHallFan No. We all thought it was a dick, and from that point on…the game was over.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@SetonHallMBB @SetonHallFan HE. IS. 💙

A banner season for Budd 🫡 #DDD

@NJHoopsHaven Absolutely will do! Unrelated but I do have a collection of childhood photos from hall camp with Tommy amaker, Jacky kaba, Adrian griffin, etc if you’re interested. I know you love a good throwback! Haven’t yet met gyrating Joe but hoping that changes tomorrow!! Absolute legend

@DegBio Send pics

Anticipating a crowd of close to 9,000 tomorrow for Seton Hall-St. John's, including the Pirates' most famous fan - Gyrating Joe. Student seats have been sold to regular fans, so that section should have a pulse.
