Seton Hall has hosted an impressive band of recruiting targets over the past two weeks including 2013s Jaren Sina, Kevin Johnson, Nate Britt and Kris Jenkins.

Johnson was the most vocal of the group about his visit, tweeting that he might be "Pirates bound" after his unofficial on October 15th, before removing the tweet. Clearly, the 2013 shooting guard from Summit Country Day School (OH) who is ranked 149th in the Class of 2013 by Rivals.com, was impressed by what he saw while in South Orange.

"My visit at Seton Hall was great," he told PirateCrew.com, "I love the campus and location."

Despite living in the Midwest, Kevin might have his eyes set on playing college ball on the East Coast, "my perfect college location is up East." Johnson got his first real taste of the East Coast when he took a trio of visits two weekends ago to Manhattan (Midnight Madness), Seton Hall and Saint Joseph's.

Johnson told PirateCrew.com that the schools he is seriously considering right now are Seton Hall, Saint Joseph's, Cincinnati and Illinois. All four schools have offered the junior guard. Johnson also noted that the Big Ten trio of Northwestern, Minnesota and Penn State have been expressing a lot of interest in him recently.

As for the future of Kevin Johnson's recruitment, "I might take another visit up East and to Illinois after the school season."

Summit Country Day's season starts on December 2nd when they take on Reading (OH).
