Norris was supposed to visit Loyola sometime this week, so i assume that's where the twitter connection comes from. Don't know much about Domask, but would love to add another 3 star freshman, and Moss would be an instant shot in the arm (and another simeon connection). Lots to like.

I would include junior, Uguak in the list of frontcourt players.
Let's go Braden!

Will be interesting to see where Tate is used as well. I’m sure he’ll have a lot of time at the 4 to go along with playing more of a wing 3.

And Negron’s spot is filled. Sit one, play 3 guard who was on the Horizon League All Freshman Team.

First of all, Nice job by Coach to get Norris. Kid is a coaches son, a winner, and a gym rat. As a freshmen he started 30 of 33 games for Oakland, and shot 49% from three, hitting 68 out of 138. Averaged 5 assists a game in the horizon league … all in his freshmen year. This year, he's going to give our guys a workout in practices, and be ready to contribute at the beginning of he 2020 season, which is now shaping up to look like one of the deadliest shooting teams we've ever had.


I do feel bad for Oakland, however. The trasnfer portal is a bit of a bummer for teams like Oakland who takes a kid bigger schools don't have interest in, gives him a chance to thrive, and then doesn't get to see their faith and support in him pay off.



If we hang on to everyone -- wow. The momentum is not slowing down for Loyola. We have at least 2 more exciting years of basketball to look forward to.

Probably not unless we have another transfer (Bruno would be the only one I could maybe see leaving if he’s able to graduate early?).

Huge get tho. Point guard of the future. Would have been the horizon freshman of the year had Detroit not had a record breaking freshman (Antoine Davis broke Steph Curry’s freshman 3 point record).

Elite shooter at 48% from 3. 8.8 points, 5 assists. 2 boards and a steal as a true freshman. Checking the Oakland board he left because he didn’t feel his teammates were putting the necessary work in. Great culture get, another coaches son as well.

One other way Moss might still be on the table is if Norris agrees to be a nonscholarship player his sit out year like Matt Chastain did when he transferred to Illinois State.
Very unlikely, but it could happen.

Per Twitter, Moss is considering Arkansas, Arizona State, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa State, Cincy and Louisville. Doesn't seem like we were ever a serious possibility as he is targeting P6 schools.
