Former Texas<\/a> guard Simeon Wilcher<\/a> has committed to Seton Hall<\/a> via the NCAA Transfer Portal per On3\u2019s Joe Tipton. He has one season of eligibility remaining.<\/p>\n

Wilcher made 25 appearances and one start for the Longhorns this past season. He averaged 5.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 18.6 minutes per game. He shot 36.6% from the field and 33.7% from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n

Wilcher transferred to Texas last offseason after spending the first two years of his collegiate career at\u00a0St. John\u2019s<\/a>. While with the Red Storm, Wilcher amassed 64 appearances and 27 starts.<\/p>\n

He averaged a career-high 8.0 points per outing in the 2024-25 season. Now, Wilcher will aim to reach new heights at Seton Hall.<\/p>\n

Simeon Wilcher played high school basketball at Roselle Catholic (NJ), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 36 overall player and No. 6 shooting guard in the 2023 recruiting cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings.<\/p>\n

Seton Hall finished the 2025-26 season with a 21-12 overall record and a 10-10 mark in conference play. The Pirates didn\u2019t appear in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive season.<\/p>\n

Next season will be Shaheen Holloway<\/a>\u2018s fifth at the helm of Seton Hall. He was named the 2026 Big East Coach of the Year after guiding the Pirates to a fourth-place finish in the Big East despite being projected to finish last in the preseason conference poll.<\/p>\n

With players like Simeon Wilcher by his side, Shaheen Holloway will aim to build on Seton Hall\u2019s momentum. Earlier this year, St. John\u2019s head coach Rick Pitino<\/a> raved about Holloway.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the way he gets his guys to play hard, unselfish basketball,\u201d Pitino said. \u201cHe recruits a lot of no-name guys who aren\u2019t on the radar and makes them name guys. \u2026 He\u2019s tremendous, he deserved Coach of the Year. Seton Hall\u2019s very, very lucky to have him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NCAA Transfer Portal officially opened on April 7 and closes on April 21. The new 15-day window was enacted following a recommendation by the men\u2019s basketball oversight committee. Athletes don\u2019t have to commit to a new school by the April 21 deadline.<\/p>\n
