StillaWarrior, you are describing the Mike Deane school of recruiting.

Trilly's thoughts. Nothing surprising.

Still sort of believe it's gonna be Will Wade. But agree that Valentine would be a good fit.

I heard rumblings that Chris Mack is in the mix

Bobby Hurley would be typical DePaul hire.  Ok but not great High Major coach, just like Leito and Purnell.

OTOH, Hurley is probably ASU's best coach of the last 50 years. It's not a great program.

Never heard of Schertz but he seems like a great candidate. Runs an actual system, wouldn't rely on big fish recruiting success, could have a home there for a long time if he wanted it

[Knight Commission]

I hope not for his sake

They should hire Shertz ... or bring back
Mike Deane .... Either one would be a
Huge improvement over the clown show of the past 20 years.

And ... as for other coaches.. are they really gonna believe the DP is now going to take this seriously??  And build new facilities that won't be ready for 3 or 4 years !?

[The Sultan]

They have a new President since Stubbs was hired. You are right to be a skeptic but who knows.

Big East would like Hurley vs Hurley on TV.

[Scoop Snoop]

Big East would like Hurley vs Hurley on TV.

I guess Mom and Dad Hurley would need to switch which bench they sit behind at halftime.

Or get similar shirts to the zeller parents

Shertz sounds like something you do when you find out you've been named the head coach at DePaul. 

[brewcity77]

I don't see Bobby Hurley coming to the Big East. I can't see anyone in the family wanting him to get bludgeoned by his brother twice a year.

The rate of violent crime in Chicago has decreased over the last 20 years. That's a fact.

The United States has a larger percentage of its population in prison than all but four other countries - none of which are western democracies. That's a fact.

But you live your life by anecdotes and feelings. I just don't take that seriously.

Here's a fact for ya. Pistol whippings are the latest violent crime to be on the increase, hey?

[Uncle Rico]

Here's a fact for ya. Pistol whippings are the latest violent crime to be on the increase, hey?

So are crimes by dentists according to what we've been seeing reported here

[withoutbias]

But they aren't violent crimes unless they're homicides, I heard.

I feel safer in Chicago than a dentist's chair.

[Herman Cain]

An A10 coach who gets a Big East job and doesn't change his recruiting pattern. Yep, that sounds on brand for a DePaul hire.

Obviously the caliber of player necessary to compete in The Big East is a step up from the A-10. What I meant by the comment , is Valentine is already selling recruits on the value of attending a University in Chicago. He has that sales pitch well rehearsed at this point.

It helps to compare apples to apples.

Example: Someone compares the KenPom ratings of two coaches/programs.

As long as its  P6 v P6 for example. Similar budgets, resources etc....

With non P6 league coaches, it's also tougher to make the NCAA Tourney. So I'm often looking more towards league domination than that. Winning 70% or more of league games etc...

A coach can be mid tier in a P6 league, not win 70% of league games, be top 40  or so and make the NCAA Tourney.

Would McDermott want the Ohio State job if offered?  He always struck me as a Creighton lifer.

Fun read. Typical lazy fan type replacement projections. Lot's of high high major coaches making lateral moves. I just don't see high major coaches making lateral moves, and especially at the rate that fans and 'click bait' sites like to project.
McDermott to Ohio State - only for insane money
Pope to Washington - step down in conference
Oates to Michigan - UM has higher standards, right?
Smith to Minny - step down in conference
Miller to Louisville - big step down in conference

Not saying any one could happen, I just think fans and lazy media think this happens more than in reality.

+ I do like the Oregon State move from Tinkle to Sprinkle.

No more P6; the PAC is dead.
