Seton Hall basketball adds transfer Elijah Hutchins-Everett

Help is on the way for Seton Hall basketball’s depleted frontcourt.

Elijah Hutchins-Everett, a center from Essex County who played the past two seasons at Austin Peay, announced his intention to transfer to the Pirates Friday.

Here are three things to know about Hutchins-Everett, a sophomore who has two years of eligibility remaining.

1. He’s a true center.

At 6-foot-11 and 255 pounds, Hutchins-Everett possesses desperately needed size, and he’s produced at the mid-major level. Over two seasons at Austin Peay he averaged 11.9 points and 6.1 rebounds in 26 minutes per game. He shot 49.4 percent from the floor, .695 from the free-throw line and took the occasional 3-pointer (.317). Austin Peay finished 9-22 this past season, including 3-15 in the Ohio Valley Conference.
