Really great add. This guy exploded for Dartmouth this year as a full time starter. He's been on a huge upswing in effectiveness the past two years.

Had 41 points against Columbia this year. Had 21 points at Fordham in the season opener this season. He had 25 points in a win over Princeton (yes, the same Princeton that was in the Sweet 16 this year).

Here's his transfer portal reel.

Quite a jump up for the former Rambler.

Still early and the jury is still out on whether we are getting BETTER on the roster side of things but, for everyone else in the A-10, a lot of rosters are getting more depleted than ours. We might be one or two guys away from setting ourselves up to be in the top half of the league. I personally think we are a center away from being a legit contender with a good off-season.

Just getting Adelekun, I think, is an upgrade for Golden, and I have faith that a healthy Dawson provides the same, or better, amount of spark and athleticism of Kennedy off the bench. Who knows what Rubin can/will be, but we at least look like we’ve mildly improved the roster from last year.

I’m cautiously optimistic now and could end up being truly excited depending on who Drew secures next.

not particularly athletic but nice post moves. built for play near the basket with a wide lower half. definitely an around the basket type of player who handles physical play

Geeze... watching what the transfer portal is doing to the MVC is crazy... 7 of the 11 1st and 2nd All league players are out the door. Bradley basically got decimated.

As frustrating as this past year was for Loyola, I guess we should be thrilled with what all we've been able to retain.

Des Watson (transfer from Davidson) commits to us. Played 29 mins, averaging 9.4/3.8/1.1 . Ohio native

Interesting that the second year in a row we have an inter conference transfer (Sheldon, albeit we were on the move). Probably had his worst game of the year against us
