Any links to support these "rumblings"?Not saying they aren't real. Just would like to see more on 'em.
If this is indeed true, my guess is that he is trying to pull the power struggle stuff he tried at Marquette.

VT fan forums. Texas A&M is the rumored destination as Kennedy has health problems. TAMU will have his hands full 😂
Isaac Chew is already on staff at TAMU.
The guy is an opportunist. I'm guessing he may be another Kevin O'Neill, bouncing around the NCAA until he wears out his welcome entirely.
Loyola has the strength to win the MVC I'd say but I highly doubt they'll be knocking on the doors of another Final Four
Having the strength to win the MVC is like saying I have the strength to get out of bed in the morning. That conference is to basketball what dog food is to gourmet fine dining.Sister Jean's intercessions not withstanding, Loyola's chances of making the Final Four again are about the same as the Chicago White Sox winning this year's World Series. Just not going to happen. I know Porter Moser is a good coach and all, but please, there's a lot more deserving teams for the Top 25 than Loyola.

Kinda suggests that the author knows the Top 10 and not much else.That said, I think we're probably better than 21, but there's no basis other than the feeling for our Warriors in my heart. If I were doing this and not a Scooper, 21 is probably where Marquette belongs, until we prove ourselves.
Come on man, it's a tougher league than that. N Iowa has shown some great upsets throughout the years, S Illinois has a surprisingly great BBall history. When Creighton and Wichita St were there they more than proved there's some talent there. The MVC isn't like Belmont/Murray St running through the A Sun
But Creighton and Wichita are gone and SIU and UNI have fallen off. The MVC isn’t all that good. Loyola will be but I doubt they’ll reach the same success this year.
Here's the illogic in what we are discussing:1) We're rated 21.2) We're a probable tournament team, ideally about 5 maybe a 6 seed.3) We play in the Big East with the national champion as a twice-a-year adversary.4) We are talked about as a possible #2 in our conference and, if the stars align right, a worthy competitor to Villanova.Now:5) They're rated 25.6) SIU, SEMO, Northern Iowa, Illinois State and Indiana State, by anyone's admissions, are not Villanova, Butler, Xavier, Creighton, St. John's or Providence. In fact, no one else in their conference even makes honorable mention or others worth mentioning (sorry SIU fans, your team has really played poorly the past few years).7) Yet, the rankings contend that Loyola, this year, will be in the same general quality as we are and would, were they in our conference, be one of the best teams in conference.Maybe we'll get 'em in the first round and prove my point conclusively. I just don't see it. I don't think they're as good as the rodent, the F*ing Irish or Vanderbilt for that matter.Sister Jean will be doing a lot of novenas for Loyola to stay in the Top 25.
The problem with these ratings are less about the Loyolas and more about the big school bias. Six ACC schools including ND? These schools play each other so losses pile up. Five SEC schools? Do the math. The B1G is actually well-represented for once with four. On the reverse, only two BE schools? Will these teams make the Big Dance? Likely. All these in the Top 25? Not so. I think Loyola and Nevada earned their ratings. The BE has a lot of transfers and newcomers that make it hard to project. Take MU: I can see 1-5th place. Conclusion: These ratings are tried and true coach felatio by Goodie more than anything else.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
