The roster is set. Now, it’s time to evaluate.
Loyola men’s basketball head coach Porter Moser has brought in arguably his best recruiting class since taking over the program in 2011 — a class that includes three highly-touted graduating high school seniors and two junior college transfers.
They’re all “Porter Moser players.” Moser has said many times he doesn’t recruit five-star recruits or players who’ll play one year before darting for the NBA. Instead, he looks for players who’ll fit his system, who have won championships and who will stay four years to graduate.
“I’m not going to sign a kid because some scouting service says he’s one star higher than this guy,” Moser told me two weeks ago.
