Loyola Chicago lands cousin of Mark Aguirre

Published by Source on June 29th, 2012

Kody Williams is headed back to Chicago: the Tallahassee JUCO guard will play for head coach Porter Moser and the Loyola Ramblers.

Williams, a cousin of former DePaul great and 2x NBA champion Mark Aguirre, was born in Chicago and played one season at Southern Mississippi before transferring to junior college.

He posted modest scoring stats last season — 4.6 pts/game — but he dished out 4.5 assists per game and will certainly fight for playing time on a rebuilding Loyola team. Williams will be the 8th new scholarship player on the roster, joining 6 high school prospects and Iowa-transfer Cully Payne.

Loyola lands two Houston seniors

Published by Source on February 11th, 2012

Friday was a big day for Loyola basketball, as first-year head coach Porter Moser scored commitments from two Houston seniors on the same day. 6’8″ power forward Jeremy King (St. Thomas Episcopal) and 6’2″ shooting guard Devon Turk (Westbury Christian) both chose to take their talents to the Windy City.

It has been a rough season for Coach Moser, who’s Ramblers are currently at the bottom of the Horizon League. Loyola has managed just one conference win so far this season, a home win over Illinois-Chicago (the Flames are second from the bottom in conference). But the 2012 recruiting class currently stands at six players, headlined by Muncie, Indiana power forward Nick Osborne.

The Source will have more info on the two newest Ramblers in the coming weeks….

Some notable “secret scrimmages” to take place

Published by Source on October 25th, 2011

CBSSports.com senior writer Jeff Goodman released a list of “secret scrimmages” that are scheduled to take place between Thursday October 27th and Sunday November 6th. Yes, I am aware that they can not really be considered “secret” if the information is out there, so perhaps “closed scrimmage” is the better turn. Most, if not all, of the notable scrimmages below will be closed to everyone but the two teams and coaching staffs involved.

A number of the BCS schools involved will be facing off with non-BCS schools, but as you will see there are some pretty solid match-ups that will serve as great experience/practice for everyone involved. Here’s a list of the scrimmages that may be of interest to you, and if you want the full list, just click the link in the first sentence of this post:

Saturday Oct. 29th:

Wisconsin at DePaul

Bowling Green vs. Loyola (Ill) – Game in Indianapolis, IN

Northern Illinois at Drake

West Virginia at Xavier

Ball State at Wright State
