LMU’s run is more like FGCU or Saint Peters than anything else. It’s shameful that the Boards of Trustees have failed LMU basketball over the past 30 years. Like forget Hank and Bo… they should’ve still built a program.
Honestly I was just 5 years old when that team was playing but my assumption is that it some serious random luck occurred to some really stupid people in charge OR the university did its best to dismantle it. Either way, it’s crazy how bad you can be.
I’m so over Hank and Bo stories and I wasn’t even around for it. I graduated in 2008… there’s so many more after me that are probably in the same boat.

This could have something to do with it: www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-12-27-sp-10009-story.htmlGathers’ Mother Says Her Son Given Cash by Loyola Booster : Depositions: Her testimony points to Albert Gersten, one of the financiers of the school’s gymnasium. It raises questions about future NCAA sanctions
In her deposition, Lucille Gathers said that she received $2,000 in cash from her son, plus gifts. She said Gathers bought those gifts for her with money he had received from Gersten, a Loyola Marymount alumnus. Depositions are given under oath. |

Unfortunately there was a fair amount of sordidness that accompanied those years. I won’t claim that success with purity is impossible, but the scales are strongly tilted against those with high moral scruples. I know there were very strong feelings across the campus after the Gathers-Kimble era, and a number of influential campus personnel who vowed, “Never again.”
While most of those folks are now gone, there is still a strong sentiment at LMU to doing things “properly.” I support that. While I’ll admit to being a bit Pollyanna-ish, I like to think that it’s still possible (though admittedly difficult) to have a successful program while still maintaining high standards.

Interesting. He was one of the main recruiters at LMU wasn't he? I'm glad they are reaching out to some guys with height

Greg Y’s bio is impressive but I can’t say much for his recruiting at LMU
Yes we need height. One player on the roster over 6’7” won’t do it but several 6’9” or better 6’10” players will.

Most likely a pipe dream but do we have a shot at landing Shareef O’Neal? He just entered the portal for the 2nd time. Might be able to really take off in the WCC.

Boom! Nice start. I like his size and clearly he is not called Sniper because he CAN'T shoot. Welcome Chance!

We need shooters, saw a couple highlight videos and his role is definitely a shooter. Hopefully we can be a Quintana replacement, we need players like that.

Hope he gets more minutes than Elliott IV.
I couldn’t find highlights on you tube?
