I also just think the ceiling of these basketball-only schools that are located in talent-rich cities is kind of overrated. You can obviously find the examples that have had the stars align (e.g., Villanova or Georgetown), but I just generally think these schools have a disadvantage for gaining influence/recognition among elite recruits. Go walk around Lincoln Park and count how many Illini shirts you see compared to DePaul ones. See what the crowd looks like when Syracuse plays St. John's at MSG. My sister went to Butler and lived in Indianapolis; she said IU fans outnumber Butler fans by at least 10:1.
I don’t even know if FDUs coach would take it and he makes like 22k a year. I’m kidding….kind of
It's fine. It's Chester Frazier, not Brad Underwood.
not only has Depaul been terrible, they haven't had any notable players or coaches in a long time. Pretty much any other high major program you can at least name one notable player in the last 10-15 years.
If the Boys to Men Academy would have worked out, DePaul would have been on easy street. Sadly it was not to be and it went the way of Donda Prep.
Yeah the coaching decisions have been almost unimaginably bad there.
I wish they hadn't. I hate seeing good coaches at Mizzou.
JCL played there. He's notable for playing for 4 teams over 7 years of eligibility. But maybe that's not what you meant...
He might lose 8 of his best players to graduation this year. He is going to have a lot of work to do to get PSU back in the conversation going forward if he doesn't jump ship this year. Similar for Collins at NW. If either one of those guys want a new job, this would seem to be the year or they may be waiting awhile to be in the spotlight again.
Max Strus
My sources are on the coach side of the equation. All I'll say is that strong assurances have been made... and it'll get the alumni riled up if they pivot. I could see him still swinging for the fences though
Some one check flight tracker
You changed your photo! i about skipped right over you! You have to give a warning about that! lol.
does anyone have any lasting memory of Strus AT Depaul though? that's kinda what I was getting at
JCL is notable to us but to the average college hoops fan he isn't
