Pretty sure DePaul's best strategy at this point is to stick with what got them here.

[Silent Verbal]

Serious question:  Is there any way, now that UCONN is back, that the Big East can kick DePaul out?  I know them being in the Chicago market is a big selling point, but let's face it, no one in Chicago gives two glasses of Wojo's ice water about the Blue Demons.

Is buying the Kenpom access worth it?

Any other good premium packages to recommend?

[Lennys Tap]

But only 1 team in the top 15, 2 teams in the top 30 and 3 in the top 45.

Our "bad" teams aren't all that terrible but we're not very strong at the top.

[PGsHeroes32]

I think Kenpom is underrating a few teams so far but overall that isnt a very a good list. Everyone is top 100 but no much top 40.

Yes imho

This would not be a great move.

Middle of December.  Whole lot of games cancelled.   If MU plays well and wins games, it will all work out.   

[Eye]

Agreed with TAMU. Worth the 20 bucks a year.

I did Kenpom a few years, but then I found this .. very close to the same info, free:

He is a Badger hack. Great for free but there are differences and he is less accurate this time of year...like having Bucky at #4. I like his use of play by play stats though.

Someone has to lose games. Having a couple top-100 bottom feeders like DePaul is great for the league as a whole.

Click bait

The longer they don't play games, the better DePaul gets.

DePaul's recruiting has been picking up. I do not think they will remain the bottom feeder they have been for quite awhile.

I've been pointing this out all off-season that they picked up some big transfers and this recruiting class is by far the best they've had in years (lol at what would've been if Terrance Shannon and Tyler Campbell had stayed committed) but I agree with you they won't be the bottom for much longer and will move to the middle of the pack.

[GooooMarquette]

We have been hearing for years now that DePaul's recruiting is picking up and that they won't be a bottom feeder much longer. And every once in a while they move up slightly to 8th or 9th, before they settle back into last place again.

At some point, DePaul will probably shock the world and finish in the middle of the conference for a couple consecutive years...but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

They should hang a banner with that accomplishment.

Right, if you like stats it's only $20/year, or 3 avocado toasts :p

3? You're clearly not forking enough money over for avocado on bread with olive oil salt and pepper. That's 1 avocado toast if you're doing it the proper millennial way.

Hah, I'm definitely disconnected from the millennial way!  But if you're making them at home (as you should be the past year) they're probably about $0.75 each

dude that's not water

[Dr. Blackheart]

How serious is the COVID problem at DePaul?  I mean it's been over a month and they just extended their pause. Not a lot of details in the news but this sounds like the entire program was sick and having serious issues.

If Leitao doesn't win sooner rather than later, recruiting won't matter because JLP isn't there to protect him.
