Loyola has locked in two commitments for the class of 2023 – Wesley and Miles Rubin. They both give Loyola something they haven’t had in a while. They possess incredible potential as well as athleticism from the 4 and 5 spots on the court. Are Drew and his staff done recruiting for the class of 2023? Probably not, but most likely we will not see much more action or commitments from the class of 2023 until next spring. Until then, we’ll keep updating the list as players or offers change. Thank you for reading!
Class of 2023 COMMITMENTS
Wesley Rubin – F, 6’8” – Committed to Loyola
Simeon / Meanstreets
Currently Unranked
Even though Wesley’s twin brother Miles is nationally ranked as a top 150 recruit, don’t let that dissuade you from appreciating Wes’s game. He’s a very unique and talented player. It’s apparent on the offensive side of the ball that Wes has great court awareness. He’s an above average passer for his size, especially to his brother. He also shows off his slashing abilities. He can often read the soft spots on offense to penetrate the defense and find open shots for himself or teammates. One skill that I want to keep an eye on is Wes’s soft touch around the rim. He’s not a rim rocker by any means, but he uses his athleticism, height, and finesse to absorb contact and finish around the rim. If Wes can add a three point shot to his game, he’ll become an excellent player at the next level.
Wesley’s defensive potential is what is extremely enticing. He might not be quite as impressive a shot blocker as his brother, but he is really darn good at it. He’s got quick feet and long strides. Even if he gets beat off the dribble, he can make up space and still affect shots. He will need to pick up a step of quickness in order to defend multiple positions at the next level, but his long arms will clog up passing lanes and lead to fastbreak opportunities for teammates. By all accounts, Wes is an incredible teammate. On the court, his chemistry with Miles is impressive. This past January, Wes was awarded the AC Williamson Award at the 90th Pontiac Holiday Tournament. This prestigious award is given to one player in the tournament that displays these five characteristics: sportsmanship, leadership, performance under pressure, exemplary behavior, and hustle and determination. Wesley has a great head on his shoulders in addition to huge potential on the basketball floor.
