I came to Loyola at 180 lbs. and am proud to say I am now 235 lbs!

9599 that's impressive work at the training table.

I think we have some great versatility for next year. I would love to see us have some sort of trapping zone available as a change of pace. Think of a 1-3-1 with Turk, Doyle, Williams, Oleary and Osbourne. This allows you to hide Turks defensive liabilities.
But I think PM is basically a hard nosed man to man guy. So look for the best defenders to fill the starting 5. I think the philosophy goes that you can have an off shooting night but you can play good defense every night., So who are our best defenders ?

Tanner came to Loyola at 185 pounds now he is at 220 so he has made the best of his time on the shelf !!!

Hey...that sounds like my story during my four years at Loyola...but most of the weight gain was from the heavy drinking...

my guess is Crisman starts because Moser wants more Ill Wolves kids

Good to hear. I think Tanner is a real sleeper for next season. I only saw him play a couple of times last season, but he showed post moves and footwork that has been rare at LU for many years. 20 or 30 extra pounds could be huge.
