...or he can just cross Loyola off of his list.

Haas would have looked good in Wichita.

QUESTION: Do we Loyola fans have any hope of landing Benet Academy's Sean O'Mara? Do we dare get our hopes up? And how long do you think it will take for my Ramblers to compete in the Missouri Valley? -- Jerry Gerver from Oak Park

HOOPS REPORT: Well, nabbing O'Mara would go a long way in speeding up that process of competing sooner than later in the Valley for Loyola. The Valley is a terrific league, but it was hit hard by graduation this past year and will take a step back from where it was last year.

In regard to O'Mara, of all the finalists (Loyola, Seton Hall, Xavier, Wake Forest, Wichita Sate and UMass), it's clear Xavier and Loyola are the only ones in the group that have been on O'Mara for a significant amount of time. That has to count for something. They are also, by far, the closest in distance, which is typically always another important consideration for many recruits. Will O'Mara go with Xavier, the basketball school with the tradition and success? Or does O'Mara want to be the big fish in the pond and help Loyola's charge into the Missouri Valley Conference? We're not talking Alfredrick Hughes here, but nonetheless, O'Mara would be a landmark recruit for coach Porter Moser, Loyola -- and you, Jerry! This is too close to call, but I believe it will come down to Xavier or Loyola.

wasn't his campus visit this weekend? Anyone know if he posted any feedback on the visit?

No comments on his Twitter feed about his visit. There were none about his other visits, either.
