yeah- there's an MVC team there but not Wichita or Creighton...but the money probably soothes everything
 
he has a bunch of decent recruits coming in and one transfer that is NOT yet cleared to be eligible and may have to sit out a year

They missed on several higher rated recruits and most of the ones they landed are 2 star - plus a couple juco kids - one of whom wasn't even a starter on his juco team and averaged just 9 ppg & 6 rpg
....hard to see where any of his newcomers will have much impact at that level right away - might take a couple years...
...if I am wrong and Gregg Marshall can quickly turn these guys into studs and wins the American Athletic Conference,
then I will plead my mea culpa and convert to Greggorianism
 
100% agree Loyola should be in the preseason T25. I think this is a great sign of respect for our league champion not to be thought of as a fluke 2 months after the season ends.

Besides that, anyone who actually watched them in the NCAA tourney can't deny they truly played as a legit top 10 team. Different style of play, yes, but at an elite level nonetheless.
