Jahseem Felton talks Big East commitment, why Seton Hall was the right pick

Seton Hall landed a bigtime piece in their 2024 recruiting class.

A recent official visit to Seton Hall was enough for three-star guard Jahseem Felton to commit to the Big East program.

Felton is a class of 2024 guard at the Combine Academy (Rock Hill, South Carolina). He is a consensus three-star recruit and is ranked the No. 120 recruit in the nation by On3.

He also held offers from North Carolina State, Missouri and Cincinnati among others.

In mid-October, he took an official visit to Seton Hall. That visit was transformational in his recruitment.

“It impacts it a lot, seeing the environment, the coaching staff, facilities, the campus – really helped in the decision,” Felton told USA TODAY High School Sports.

He is a 6-foot-5 guard with good length. Felton has the ability to stretch the court and is a very good perimeter defender.

With his verbal, Felton is now the first commitment for Seton Hall in their 2024 recruiting class.

“I picked Seton Hall because of the style of play and their culture is right for me,” Felton said.

“It felt right once I stepped on campus. The coaching staff, the team, even the students walking – (it) was good. Felt like home.

“And the coaches were very honest with me like I was one of their own.”

 

This intriguing 2024 prospect showing interest in Florida basketball

The Florida Gators basketball program has shown interest in this class of 2024 point guard recruit, the son of a former NBA player.

Mike White and his Florida Gators staff are focusing on the future of the basketball program on the recruiting circuit, targeting big prospects in the 2022 and 2023 classes. But the Gators are a program to watch for one 2024 prospect as well.

Point guard Jahseem Felton is a prospect in the 2024 class that is receiving a lot of attention in his recruitment. The South Carolina native is the cousin of former North Carolina and national champion point guard Raymond Felton.

But Jahseem is making a path of his own in high school and has received some interest from programs like Florida, Georgetown, Ole Miss, Kansas, South Alabama and Wake Forest, all programs that have offered the talented recruit.

Felton talked to Rivals’ recruiting analyst Jamie Shaw about the teams that have offered him, dishing on the Gators in the process:

Florida: “An SEC school, great offer. A lot of great players come from there. A lot of people from my AAU team (BMaze Elite) went there, so I know some people there.”

The Gators appear to be in good standing for this talented recruit but we should note that there is a long way to go in this recruitment. Felton is a 2024 recruit and while he’s gaining a lot of interest so far, that’s likely to increase over time.
