DePaul
Interesting:

Eli Cain has announced his commitment to DePaul.
One would think if Purnell was on his way out- news like this wouldn't be coming out...

saw someone bring up that their last 2 hires were guys that old- Wainright and Purnell. So would kind of think that would kind of scare them off that way.

RE: DePaul
I wonder if DePaul may go after Bobby Hurley. Would make the Marquette/DePaul rivalry pretty interesting one would think.

RE: DePaul
I think hurley would be a good pick and maybe one of the few non chicagoland coaches with a chance to succeed. i've said this before, but, i wonder if it's too much of a risk for him. if he has designs on possibly succeeding K then maybe its better to continue to get more HC experience in a situation at a lower level. Better to be successful at a lower level / unproven at a higher level rather than risk struggling / losing at a higher level.
I'm not convinced on Howland... not sure you'd want someone who turned you down once before either.

yeah I'm not sure they go with the old guy route either. 2 straight ones that didn't go well at all.
You may be right about Hurley- but then again, I think he's got to be thinking a guy that would be just north of him at DePaul looks like he's got Marquette set for a really stellar run- and if that comes to fruition, he's not going to have a chance to replace K either way.

RE: DePaul
Hurley would be really interesting. If he could recruit like Wojo has at Marquette, that is a big game changer.

RE: DePaul
there's a more than wojo who could return to Duke. I'm just not sure if Hurley wouldn't be the most favored son.
it would be interesting if they both coached in the conference.
I see Drew being a popular fan choice but i wonder why he would leave his alma mater and a place where his family is likely revered
i do wonder if either DePaul or Crean would be interested if he gets fired

Yeah I agree with you about Wojo. My point for Hurley is sticking at Buffalo, he's probably not going to even be all that viable for Duke. If he goes to DePaul and builds them up, he's getting in the discussion at least.
Crean would be interesting. Considering I saw on ESPN that right now they're the dreaded 1st team out, that could seal his fate. I don't know what DePaul would think taking a guy who just got fired because he wasn't doing well enough.

RE: DePaul
If Crean does get fired, that in itself shouldn't be as large of an issue. There has been plenty of public debate on whether Crean should be fired or deserves the criticism he's receiving.
A stepping stone program may be needed, but success at Buffalo combined with his reputation could be enough for Hurley to be the anointed successor.

Yeah. I don't think he gets fired. If he does, I think he'd be a good fit- knowing the private school culture from being at Marquette. Would definitely add a spice to the rivalry. Considering DePaul has only 2 seniors this year- they could be a lot quicker fix for next year than folks think. Wouldn't be that automatic rebuild year like what Wojo had I would think..

Howland tried to get Marquette and Virginia Tech a year ago but to no avail. Miss State can pay him enough. Makes sense if it gets done.

Howland wanted a job at a major football school. Programs can flip quickly and move up in the SEC below Kentucky and normally Florida.

RE: DePaul
Sounds like Howland has been hired at Mississippi St.
Wonder who for DePaul. My guess still is Bobby Hurley from Buffalo.
