Ben Brust, a 6'2 class of 2010 shooting guard from Mundelein High School in Mundelein, IL has received a scholarship offer from Loyola-Chicago. Rambler head coach Jim Whitesell extended the offer to Brust today after watching him play at the Rambler Shootout at Loyola's Gentile Center. The offer from Loyola becomes the third one to date for Brust, as he has also been offered by Davidson and William and Mary. Brust is also expected to take unofficial visits in the near future to both Virginia and Iowa.
Brust was absolutely spectacular at the Rambler Shootout, as was 6'4 class of 2009 shooting guard Matt Vogrich from Lake Forest High School in Lake Forest, IL. Ironically, the top game of the day at Loyola pitted Lake Forest vs. Mundelein. In that contest, which was won by Lake Forest, both Vogrich and Brust hit numerous three-point field goals and also showed their versatility by consistently scoring on drives to the basket. They were clearly the top two players that we saw based on performance during our time spent at Loyola. At the present time Vogrich has received scholarship offers from St. Louis and Miami-Ohio in addition to heavy interest from several other schools.
Additional Notes
... Multiple sources have informed us that Cully Payne, the 6'1 class of 2009 point guard from Schaumburg High School in Schaumburg, IL, will take an unofficial visit to Alabama along with his AAU teammate, 6'6 class of 2009 shooting guard Nik Garcia. Payne is also now receiving strong recruiting attention from Loyola-Chicago as well.
... Speaking of Garcia, it is now official, as he has transferred from Niles West High School in Skokie, IL to Evanston Township High School in Evanston, IL. In fact, Garcia played his first game with Evanston tonight at the University Of Illinois Satellite Camp at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.
