MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Head Coach Nick McDevitt's scouting report on Chris Loofe coming out of Link Year Prep was as long as the 6-foot-11 center is tall. And it was clear on why McDevitt thought Loofe could be an impact player for the Blue Raiders.
"He had legitimate size, he had talent and he had the want-to and the work ethic to get really good," McDevitt said. "Rarely do you see that combination of things in a young man and they not turn out to be pretty good."
Even with those expectations, however, McDevitt could not have predicted how quickly the Leander, Texas native has made himself a prominent part of the MTSU rotation heading into the start of Conference USA play this week.
