Loyola also has another incoming freshman who played for the Spanish championship team. Both of these players will be on this year's Loyola team.
This article has Loyola with one of the top midmajor recruiting classes in the nation. Here is a comment about the center from Spain:
"Now, Simovic is on Tavaras Hardy’s staff at Loyola (MD) and is once again making headway on the international recruiting trail. Landing Aldama, who just won MVP at the FIBA U18 European Championships, was perhaps the biggest heist of the 2019 cycle. As Evan Daniels of 247Sports wrote, “there are very few programs nationally which would turn down a talent like Aldama so the fact he will be playing college basketball in the Patriot League was a constant talking point amongst NBA scouts and college coaches.†He’s incredibly skilled for his size, able to pass, handle, and shoot the ball and protect the rim. Aldama could be an NBA prospect down the line and should be one of the most impressive mid-major freshmen in the country."

Sounds like they may have found their own version of Chris McNaughton.
