Oso planning to go pro
This is bittersweet for DePaul fans though: winning games only means that Purnell will be around much longer than they hoped.
If we can go back in a time machine to 1978 and make Mark Aguirre chose MU over DePaul. How much would the world have changed?
I actually think this will end up hurting DePaul in the long run. Barring something miraculous, they aren't going to make the tournament this year and finishing somewhere in the middle of the Big East will probably give Purnell a few more years of safety as the HC. I'm pretty sure we can all agree he isn't going to help "save" the program and they need to move on and look for someone new.
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
I wonder, if St. John's flames out and misses the tourney this year, do they can Lavin? I know he had the health issues, but has had 5 years and his best results mostly came with someone else's recruits, despite him recruiting well early on, they haven't had the same results on or off the court the past few years. I have to think someone like Dan Hurley could kill it at that job.
I know they lost 6 in a row heading into conference play but if they somehow beat Villanova tomorrow does the DePaul loss suddenly not look so bad? Or does the opponents they lost to during their losing streak not make up for it?We still blew that game but who saw 3-0 coming?
