Holy Crap what a game.

DePaul hires former Clemson coach Oliver Purnell for 7 years/$15 million.

Purnell's a constant choker but if DePaul's even in that position, he's the right guy.

 

That's a lot of dough.

[TruffleShuffle]

good move for them, he builds pretty good teams even if they do always flop in the dance, and i think it's good for depaul to hire a black coach - should help them recruit within the city.

[C.C.]

Solid move.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

That's a lot of shekels for someone with a less than stellar resume.

[C.C.]

I'd like to see at least 1 win in the big dance, but just getting there would be a step up for Depaul. And he has proven he can build a team.

 

I guess Brian Gregory was a no go.

Ya, if DePaul is in the tourney in the next 3-4 years, that would be a step up. Not a great hire, but could be worse. Problem is, there will be no way to tell if he's doing anything positive except recruiting for 18 months because they're so bad now.

Mike Shaw is a pretty good litmus test right away.

[SouthSideRyan]

If Mike Shaw winds up at DePaul, I don't know if I can even be upset. More pity for Shaw than anything else.

I hear ya, but on the illini scout board they are saying he was talking about it. I don't get the kid, he's buddies with all our our guys, but doesn't want to come here.

Is he a Fire guy, or is he with the Wolves?

Kyle Rowley is transferring from Northwestern. I'm a little surprised considering a healthy offseason (he broke his foot last summeR) would put him in good position to get a lot of minutes.

Irvin is helping him in his recruitment.

The entire Chicago AAU and high school basketball system needs to be blown up.

[SouthSideRyan]

It's not just Chicago. AAU is a cesspool in general.

[SouthSideRyan]

Eh, just read the article, not as awful as I was expecting. When Norm Roberts got canned, there was an article referencing AAU coaches in NY essentially saying Roberts couldn't succeed because he wouldn't give them what they want.(i.e. jobs, money, etc.) Cultivating relationships is to be expected. My only issue with the article was Mike Irvin barking out orders about what he needs to do, and the other guy saying he was done with DePaul if they didn't retain Webster. Very few of these guys are looking out for the best interests of the kids they coach, and it's really sad.

[chuckywang]

Dino Guadio out at Wake.

 

Didn't see that coming

[Exile on Waveland]

Well, he's an awful coach. Though pretty clearly a good recruiter.
