Damn. Not unexpected given what's in front and now behind him. But still think he has a lot of potential--maybe he can unlock somewhere else. Think we all had high hopes for him to be the next Ben Richardson type player (floor leader, fundamentally sound, great defense and can occasionally have a big shooting game).
I suspect there will be one or two more to enter the portal.
smart player, was hoping he would stay around....but Clemons and Hall coming back kind of sealed his spot on the bench for another year.....The NCAA has f'ed up ..but this extra year of eligibility takes the cake.
I am with Nate on this extra year rule. This coming season Loyola will have four super seniors and two graduate transfers. I imagine these six will see the majority of playing time. Three of the other players will have experience. These are Kennedy, Norris and Welch. Of the other five, I expect Hutson to get plenty of experience. This leaves a big question mark for Anderson, Johnson, Schwieger and Thomas. I would hate to see the team go into the 22-23 season with only a handful of experienced players.

Point taken, but starting lineup in 22-23 of Norris / Kennedy / Thomas (or Anderson) / Welch / Hutson would be pretty dang good.
How does eligibility work for the Ivy guys? They had to sit out this year because the Ivy sat out. Was it a "free" year for them so they could potentially have two more years to play?
Seems like a perfect spot for Pax! He’ll be a great player in the Ivy League with more PT, get to play his little brother twice a year, team up with his former AAU teammate we recruited (Cowan), and get an amazing degree. Rooting for his success!
