Pirates Talk

I'm excited to hear what Zach Braziller has to say about the Pirates as they continue their run in the Big East Conference. The New York Post writer discusses the Hall, the Big East and offers his thoughts on the national scene as well.

From a walk-on role to a prime-time performer, it has been an incredible road traveled by Shavar Reynolds, Jr. And he's not done yet! Listen to him talk about living in Japan, his tryout for a walk-on role, and what lies ahead for the rest of this season. And, oh! Will Kevin Hart star in the Shavar Reynolds, Jr. bio-pic?

Robin Cunningham is my special guest on the latest edition of the show. She has essentially stayed at the Hall ever since stepping onto the campus as a freshman. One of the first two women to receive athletic scholarships to SHU, she made her mark on the basketball court, but, more importantly, has impacted the lives of thousands of student-athletes, and continues to provide service to the university.

My guest this week is Dave Popkin. He and Gary Cohen bring Seton Hall basketball to life on the radio and form one of the great broadcast crews in college basketball. From how it all began to what his expectations are for this season and how COVID has changed broadcasting, Dave discusses life with the Pirates and more.

He never went far from his Jersey City home but Jerry Walker has traveled a mighty road. We discuss his time at St. Anthony High School, playing for Seton Hall and his Big East showdowns, his continued community service in his hometown, and more. Including how he overcame early physical disabilities to become a basketball standout.

The start of the SHU women's basketball season is right around the corner. Join me and my guest, women's basketball head coach Tony Bozzella, as we discuss the team's prospects for this season. Who will lead the way? Who might be a surprise? We discuss the return of UConn to the Big East and so much more.

COVID 19 has caused Seton Hall's men's basketball team to pause its practices. Will the season start on time? As the virus spreads, what are the implications in the Big East and around the college basketball landscape?

Jerry Carino and John Fanta, two of the most respected voices in the game, discuss what lies ahead and whether or not there will be college basketball this season.

So many questions regarding the upcoming college basketball season. Will there be a season? How will it look? How will Seton Hall do in the Big East? There's one person who can help sort things out. Jerry Carino of the Asbury Park Press, one of the pre-eminent college basketball writers in the country, is my guest on the latest edition of "Pirates Talk".

I hope you enjoy this interview with former Seton Hall University baseball great, Rick Cerone. A first round pick by the Cleveland Indians in 1975, Rick had an 18-year career that included stints with the Yankees and Mets. He was a two-time All American at the Hall and helped the Pirates to two College World Series appearances. He reminisces about his time on campus, the friendships he made that are still intact, his relationship with head coach Mike Sheppard, a funny story about his book store entrepreneurship, a dust up with George Steinbrenner and so much more!

It didn't begin the way Andre Barrett hoped it would during his time at Seton Hall. But he stuck with it and ended up in the school's men's basketball record books. After traveling world-wide to pursue his pro career with stops in the NBA, Europe and South America, he's back home working for the NBA. We talk the Hall, hoops and dreams.
