RECRUITING SERVICE ASSESSMENTS
“One of the most skilled frontcourt prospects in the 2020 class, a lefty with great touch to the perimeter that can score from 20-feet and in, he is also a precise passer that can finish and rebound within traffic.”
“With his combination of size, length, and plus athleticism, Loveday is one of the more intriguing bigs in the class of 2020.”
QUOTABLE
“I think I would fit in really well with them and their offense. Indiana is a basketball state, and it is a basketball school, and I like that.”
“(IU coach Archie) Miller has been contacting me directly a lot. I feel like they’ve been showing me a lot of love, that they really, really would like to have me get back up for an official sometime this fall.”
