SETON HALL PIRATES NEWS

Jared Rhoden - Returns to form Rhoden posted eight points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes of Sunday's 80-44 victory over Yale.

Impact Rhoden's return was highly anticipated as he is expected to be a team leader this season. He received a warm reception from the crowd as he took the court for the first time since suffering an ankle sprain two weeks ago. It didn't seem to slow him down as he was often the first up the court on offense. He recorded two offensive rebounds, a defensive rebound and finished a layup at the rim in his first five minutes of play. He finished with four turnovers on the day, but this was a tune-up game as was made clear by him coming off the bench and playing limited minutes. His role will expand as his recovery continues.

Jared Rhoden - Will be available Sunday Rhoden (ankle) was a full-go in warmups ahead of Sunday's game against Yale and will be available to play, Jerry Carino of the Asbury Park Press reports.

Impact Rhoden sprained his right ankle which forced him to sit for the team's season opener. The 6-6 senior will be good to return Sunday based on his full participation in warmups, although it's unclear how much he'll end up playing.

Brandon Weston - Ruled out Sunday Weston (undisclosed) won't be available for Sunday's game against Yale, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Weston has been dealing with an unspecified injury that has put a hold on his collegiate debut for the Pirates. Following Sunday's meeting with Yale, the team will be put to the test in back-to-back games against Michigan and Ohio State and would hope to have Weston available off the bench. However, there has been no indication when he could return.

Brandon Weston - No action in opener Weston did not take the court in Wednesday's opener against Fairleigh Dickinson.

Impact Weston has been tending to an unspecified injury, and given Seton Hall was able to empty basically its entire bench in this contest, it's fair to assume that the injury is still a concern. The four-star guard is one of the highlights of Seton Hall's recruiting class, but he also plays a position of great depth, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him brought along slowly in his recovery.

Bryce Aiken - Productive season opener Aiken produced 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 93-49 victory over Fairleigh Dickinson.

Impact Aiken has been prone to the injury bug throughout his career but was cleared from knee and ankle injuries by early-October, making this one of the few seasons he's been able to enter with a clean bill of health. His output was great here as one of the first guards off the bench for the Pirates, though it's worth noting Jared Rhoden missed this contest with an ankle injury, which left a few more shots to go around.

Tray Jackson - Looks to be coming off bench Jackson does not appear to be in the starting five Wednesday against Fairleigh-Dickinson, The Setonian reports.

Impact Jackson had an outstanding exhibition performance back on Nov. 4 when he started over Ike Obiagu, but it's possible coach Kevin Willard just wanted to get him some extra run against a lower-level opponent. It's still possible the former four-star recruit will see meaningful run in a reserve capacity.

Ike Obiagu - Looks to be starting opener Obiagu is part of the starting five Wednesday against Fairleigh-Dickinson, The Setonian reports.

Impact Obiagu came off the bench and played only four minutes in a recent exhibition, leading some to question whether Tray Jackson had taken over as the starting center. That's not the case according to the school newspaper, with the 7-2 center -- who started 26 of 27 games last season -- getting the nod in the opener.

Jared Rhoden - Will sit Wednesday Rhoden (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game against Farleigh-Dickinson, Jerry Carino of the Asbury Park Press reports.

Impact Rhoden figures to be a big contributor for the Pirates this season after racking up 14.9 points and 6.7 boards over 34.6 minutes per game last season. His 2021-22 campaign will get off to a delayed start, with his next chance to rejoin the action arriving Sunday against Yale.

Tray Jackson - Gets start in exhibition Jackson started and had 19 points (6-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 22 minutes in a 110-48 exhibition victory over Misericordia on Nov. 4...

Impact Jackson began his basketball career at Missouri before transferring to the Pirates last season, where he only appeared in three games. The frontcourt minutes in 2020-21 were dominated by big men Ike Obiagu and Sandro Mamukelashvili, but Mamukelashvili has since gone pro, while Obiagu came off the bench in the exhibition. The minutes distribution between Obiago and Jackson will be something fantasy players will be monitoring closely in the early part of the season.

Jared Rhoden - Game-time call Wednesday Rhoden (ankle) is a game-time decision Wednesday against Fairleigh Dickinson, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Rhoden's ankle injury kept him out of Seton Hall's final exhibition game but there's a chance he will be ready for the season opener Wednesday. He will test things out in pregame before the team determines his status.

Brandon Weston - Sitting out exhibition Weston will not suit up for Thursday's exhibition contest versus Farleigh-Dickinson, Jerry Carino of the Asbury Park Press reports.

Impact Weston is reportedly moving around pretty well but isn't quite ready to don the uniform just yet. The freshman appears to be bugged by an injury of some kind that could leave his status in question for the opener. Even if cleared for the opener, it's unclear how much of a role the freshman will have in the rotation out of the gates.
