Loyola will have two Canadians on the roster next year. Aher Uguak who transferred from New Mexico, and Isaiah Bujdoso, a freshman from Canada (albeit he played prep ball at Sunrise Christian Academy in the states)

This is what you call a front court--6' 8" Thik Bol and 6'10 plus Kavion Pippen for SIU

Isn't 6-10 plus basically 6-11?

Boya and Bar hopefully will grow a lot together these next two seasons. DLO and Pitt should score off D. LVP NK JH DBJ .

We all can agree on EC. :) I’d double him all day in practice with Boya and Bar.

Time will tell but 3rd or higher is expected in Peoria this year . We expect to be playing on Sunday in St. Louis.

My early starting 5 prediction is DBJ, AP, EC, LVP, KB. DLO 6th man of the year. JH and NK just need to make open high % shots and get to the free throw line and knock them down. Bile is a huge X factor his production and a better EC hopefully takes care of the hole left by Donte.

One of these guards may redshirt similarly to what was done with Pitt but you can never have to many guards. NK maybe?

It’s going to start with great d from this group. Can’t wait to see. #TheMovement.

Do SIU fans expect Pippen and Bol to play on the court together?

Certainly an imposing duo that won't struggle on the boards, but I could see them having a tough time on defense against teams that can space the floor with shooters. I suppose that may matter more in the NBA game than college though; we've just been playing small for so long that the 3 guard 1 wing 1 center lineup seems pretty normal. If they can hold up on defense though that's a super strong front court.

my prediction is that they will alternate at 5 spot to always have a rim protector--everytime Pippen went out against ISU they went bonkers against us---Fletcher is now big enough, shoots well enough to again play the 4 spot---both Bol and Pippen might start against teams that have big front courts

Nice initials for all the players. For us that don't follow Bradley (i'm assuming) maybe last names would be more identifiable.

Who in Peoria is expecting 3rd or higher? I don't think that's an overall fan base sentiment. Maybe yours.

Maybe a Bradley fan can decipher this jibberish for the rest of the league?

EC = Elijah Childs
KB = Koch Bar
DLO = Dwayne Lautier Ogunleye
AP = Antoine Pittman
LVP = Luke van Bree (somehow?)
NK = Nake Kennell
JH = Jayden Hodgson
DBJ = Darrell Brown Jr.

Personally I expect top 4. I say that because the 4 Illinois schools should all be loaded, and beyond picking Loyola 1 I'm not sure where to place the other 3. But if we let someone behind us in the standings leapfrog us that shouldn't be acceptable.
