PAOLO IVIS sat out last season as a non-participating redshirt as he learned the system ... will remind Loyola followers of another native Croatian who flourished in Coach Patsos' system - Josko Alujevic '07 - and he will switch this season to wear that same uniform number ... can battle inside for rebounds on both ends of the floor just as easily as slip outside to knock down a three-pointer ... a tireless worker ... will battle for playing time along the front line as a reserve.

2008-2009
Sat out the season as a non-participating redshirt ... dressed and traveled for many of the games in November, but did not play and the decision was made to redshirt him for the season ... practiced with the team every day and participated on the scout team.

Before Loyola
Played one season of varsity basketball at Sagemont Upper HS in Weston, Fla. ... helped that team to a 21-9 final record and a spot in the Class 2A State Championship game where they suffered a one-point loss ... named all-tournament after making seven of his nine shots from the floor en route to a 14-point, nine-rebound effort in that final game ... averaged 14.0 points for the season and was selected as an all-Broward County honorable mention selection ... was named to the high school honor roll during that senior year.

Personal
Paolo Ivis is the son of Marino and Dorijana Ivis ... has two brothers, Antonio and Mateo ... undecided on his major of study at Loyola.
