Seton Hall may have found their coach, but that just may mean some other schools make their moves. Obviously Manhattan has an opening and Rohrssen makes sense to many.
Rohrssen, 45, a Brooklyn native regarded as one of the nation’s top New York City recruiters, is a logical choice.
“Barry would be a tremendous fit at Manhattan,” said ESPN analyst Dick Vitale, a Seton Hall alum. “It was Bobby’s time to take the step up, too. It was absolutely a tremendous hire for Seton Hall.”
Manhattan may have someone else in mind, though, and Rohrssen could still be heading elsewhere.
Manhattan is expected to pursue Louisville assistant Steve Masiello, a former Jaspers assistant, and DePaul assistant Gary DeCesare. Former Manhattan coach and current ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla and Pitt’s Rohrssen would appear to be logical candidates, but Fraschilla is a leading candidate for the SMU vacancy and Rohrssen just interviewed a second time at Fairfield yesterday.
Stay tuned.
