Seems like the staff has narrowed it down to two guards in high school. If we don't get them I will assume a transfer or juco in the spring
Right now I think both prep guys will wait until the spring to sign. It would fit the staff plan to add a guard if Lindell goes pro, be it prep, juco or transfer. I wouldn't rule out another name or two surfacing.
Obviously if either wanted to commit I am sure the staff would take it, but both seem pretty open in their recruitment at this point and it is getting late in the process to sign by November.
It would be a pretty fun neighborhood for a young man to live in.Must be $$$. No other reason a kid would go to Depaul. He won't ever get seen on TV by anyone.
Although DePaul has always been an after thought in the basketball landscape of Chicago/Illinois hoops, they have always been a team that will out swing their record in the recruiting every now and then, even when they are in a rut. Being directly in Chicago is a huge tool they use, in a cool part of the city also as jcy said, and every so often they snag a bigger than expected fish from that pond. Every other year or so grab a guy around 150. Every 5 years or so grab a guy in the top 100.Must be $$$. No other reason a kid would go to Depaul. He won't ever get seen on TV by anyone.

I doubt they will ever be a power, but if someone could come into that school and change the way the CPS coaches view them, they could carve out a nice niche. Cool part of the city also as jcy said.
Yeah, loose wording on my part. They've had some consistent success in my life time as well, just been a while.I wouldn't say always....I'm old enough to remember the Ray (and then Joey) Meyer days when they were perennial contenders for the tournament. But yeah, it has been a while, and I am very old.
most of the better recruits coming out of the city of Chicago only have aspirations of making it to the NBA. And are probably told their entire prep/AAU career how they can make it.If you have no NBA aspirations and want to play some good talent, Live in Chicago, Be close to family and play in front of them. I have no idea why more don't commit to DePaul since its such a good school.
Longest DePaul thread ever.
Pretty sure a DePaul assistant coach got tagged in the last couple of days by Brian Bowen Sr. in the FBI trial.
EDIT: yup

Dirty program that still cannot win man, this reminds me of the Criner days, he cheated and ISU still sucked.
