Rodney Brown checks a couple of important boxes for the Pirates. Here are three things to know about him.

Seton Hall basketball is reloading from deep, and the Pirates just added a proven sharpshooter to their roster.

Rodney Brown, a 6-foot-6 wing transfer from Loyola Marymount, has committed to the program—bringing with him a three-year track record of knocking down shots at both the mid-major and high-major levels. For a team that has struggled from beyond the arc in recent seasons, Brown checks a couple of very important boxes.

Here are three things to know about the Pirates' newest weapon.

1. He’s a volume shooter with efficiency to match.

During the 2025-26 season at LMU, Brown hit 38.2 percent of his 3-pointers—converting 87 of 228 attempts, which led the entire West Coast Conference in made threes. He averaged 14.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.4 steals in 32 minutes per game, while shooting 42.5 percent from the field and an impressive 83 percent from the free-throw line. Even against elite competition, Brown held his own: in four games against WCC tournament teams Santa Clara, Gonzaga, and Saint Mary’s, he shot 9-of-23 from deep (39.1 percent).

2. He’s been productive at every stop.

Brown’s journey has taken him from Cal (Pac-12) to Virginia Tech (ACC) and finally to Loyola Marymount—and at every level, the shooting has translated. As a freshman at Cal, he hit 39.7 percent from three (23-of-58) as a regular rotation piece. At Virginia Tech, he shot 42.4 percent from deep (14-of-33) in limited minutes. Over three collegiate seasons, Brown is a career 38.9 percent shooter from beyond the arc, 41.5 percent from the field, and 79.4 percent from the foul line.

3. He brings versatility to a position of need.

Listed as a guard at his previous stops, Brown is a capable ball-handler with a solid 1.4-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio and the ability to create his own shot off the dribble. But with his length and a guard-heavy roster, Seton Hall likely projects him as a wing—a position that has been a glaring vacancy until now. Brown was originally recruited as a wing out of high school, and his size and skill set fit perfectly alongside fellow newcomer Kareem Thomas, a 6-foot-5 Dartmouth transfer who shot 44.7 percent from three this past season.

Head coach Shaheen Holloway has never before brought in two shooters of this caliber in the same offseason. It’s a clear signal: the Pirates are addressing their biggest weakness head-on, and Rodney Brown is a major piece of that solution.
