Should he come aboard, Tom Kleinschmidt would be invaluable addition to DePaul coaching staff. Would open new doors to recruiting & more.

Did really good things with York when he was with him and Gordon Tech too. Good friends with my dad, I know high school to college ranks doesnt always go smoothly but he may have been a better choice than Leitao.

Yeah, I always forget that.  I think I saw something 6 months ago and was equally surprised.
Maybe it's part of JLP's Master Plan.

My daughter's first V-Ball game of the fall was against DePaul Prep; was surprised at the time--didn't seem to be much fanfare.

So a big part of hiring Dave Leitao was supposedly helping DePaul land coveted Chicago PG Marcus LoVett Jr. LoVett was visiting DePaul the weekend Leitao was hired and the coach hire was supposed to seal the deal.

I'll be the first to say that you should NEVER hire a coach for one recruit, but even worse is when you hire a coach for one recruit and LOSE THE RECRUIT ANYWAY!!!

Marcus LoVett signed his NLI with St. John's last night. Classic DePaul...

I think that part of the difficulty in hiring Drew or Hurley was that DePaul was dictating to them that they would have to retain Billy Garrett's dad as an assistant coach, so that DePaul wouldn't lose its best player.  So hiring Leitao at least accomplished that.

Retaining Billy Garrett Sr was definitely a priority, but the two main reasons for retaining him were keeping Billy Jr on the roster and landing Marcus LoVett. The buzz from Chicago was that DePaul really thought they'd land either Drew or Hurley and LoVett all in the same weekend. Instead, both said no to the job because Sr would be forced on them, Leitao was willing to agree to anything, and in all the chaos, LoVett leaves without committing, then two months later picks St. John's.

It was keeping Garrett Sr as well, but the reason to keep him was for his supposed Chicago recruiting prowess that would reel in top local players like LoVett. Just DePaul's luck, Chicago recruiting looks to be down for both 2016 and 2017, so the guy they made such a fuss to keep will likely have an uphill battle earning his paycheck the next 3 years (after already missing the top Chicago 2015s).

Dumb, dumb DePaul.

The guy's fringe top 100, hardly a reason to hire/not hire a coach. What a joke!

Not only is LoVett not worth hiring a coach for, but virtually every major program that got involved ended up backing way off. Arizona, Kansas, Marquette, Memphis, Indiana, USC, Washington, and others all sniffed around but didn't offer (though he committed to Kansas before discovering he didn't have an offer).

In the end, DePaul may end up fortunate they didn't land LoVett. Seems like he's more trouble than he's worth. But when you hire a coach in part to land a "key recruit", you better damn sure get that recruit!

Not a bad player to take a flyer on this late.  He doesn't seem like a screw up, but was having trouble posting a qualifying test score.  If he has done that, he could be a steal for them.

Kansas was apparently interested.  Not sure they ever offered though.

I know this is in teal, but I read this all the time. What does DePaul seriously have other than being in Chicago? Do they even have a practice facility? If we plugged in Loyola tomorrow, would anyone know the difference?

In any event, DePaul gon' DePaul.

Largest catholic school in the country, one of the winningest programs all time. Sure they're terrible but I'd rather have a program old people go "wow I remember them being incredible" than a team that has had 1 good year since Coach Ireland had them in the 60s.  Though if Loyola were to join we could boast 4 national championships instead of three.

Seriously though Loyola can't even say they've been screwed over by being mid major as they've only hit the nit 4 times and the CBI once.  Great in the 60s, one good year in 83 and nothing outside of that.
