Recruiting Class of 2022

[swellafelon]

We are recruiting 3 of this scout's Top 5 transfers plus "High Major" Neal Quinn!

High major, or honorable mention?

Honest Mistake?

[swellafelon]

Baldwin will NEVER come to Loyola even if it was the only school available. This can be traced to how the entire Whitsell staff was terminated.
It was Whitesell's last year of his contract (8th) and he and his staff were showed their offices in the soon to be opened refursbished Norville Center.
This occurred three days before the official opening and press gala.
Once the opening occurred each of the staff was called in individually including Jim Whitesell and given their walking papers.
Loyola did not want the firing of coaches to be the story as it would have interfered with the Norville reopening.
It was a very humiliating experience. This occurred before Steve Watson became AD several months later so it was under the old regime.
However, by that time Grace Calhoun was gone as well.

I'm not sure what you mean by your last paragraph, Streak, but Whitesell was fired by Calhoun only two months into her tenure, and she would stay at Loyola for another 3 years.

Gotta think we'd have a chance here.

saw this on the NU site
North Dakota State transfer Sam Griesel has heard from Ohio State, Creighton, Loyola Chicago, Nebraska, Northwestern, Penn State, Stanford, Indiana St, Northern Iowa, Colorado State, Drake, Santa Clara, Cal Baptist & Fort Wayne, per source.

He averaged 14.3 points this season.

Former 4 star and top 100 recruit. Measuring in at 6'10 and 240lbs. Very much the kind or player we could use for next season.

Well this seems to be the next phase....the transfer portal and will Schwiegert and Knight be back...I think they will need to improve at the center position even if Knight comes back...

I'm thankful for what Scwiegs and CK gave to the program this year. No chance we make the dance without those two.

That said, I'm OK with moving forward trying to replace them with transfers. They both have flaws that were exposed in crunch time vs good teams.
