ANTHONY WINBUSH entered Loyola as one of its highest-profiled recruits and delivered, being named MAAC All-Rookie by the league's coaches and twice was tabbed for MAAC Rookie of the Week ... proved to be one of Loyola's top defenders all season, often drawing the assignment of opponent's top scoring forward ... scoring took a backseat to defense and rebounding until needed the last weekend of the regular season ... those two games were his only two double-digit outings and he scored 17 in the regular-season finale ... can play every position on the floor and saw duty at point guard a number of times during the season ... needs to continue to work on his strength to become a bigger factor for the Greyhounds ... has long arms and court intelligence which allows him to collect steals against both bigger and quicker players ... one of the quietest players on and off the court ... found range on his jump shot late in the season and has worked hard to improve that aspect of his game during the off-season ... has an uncanny nose for the basketball ... a very athletic player.
