Nutter Goes To Big East

Jamar Nutter, a strong 6-2, 191 pound combo/shooting guard from Seton Hall Prep in West Orange, N.J., committed to Seton Hall, according to sources.

Nutter had a top six list of schools -- Rutgers, Villanova, Pittsburgh, Maryland, Syracuse, and Seton Hall. So this is a very good pickup for Louis Orr and his hard working assistants.

Jamar is a physical defender and strong slasher. Though Nutter is not a great three point shooter at this stage he has shown some good improvement since his junior high school year ended. He does play more on the wing than at the point for Seton Hall Prep, one of the country's top high school programs. Coach Bob Farrell, who coaches Nutter at Seton Hall Prep, is highly regarded by his peers and by the college coaches. So Nutter will improve his game this winter.

Last season, he averaged roughly 15 points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals per game for the Pirates.
