DePaul will be pleased with this hire. Purnell's teams will be better than 14-17 in his 4th year and will get out of the cellar quickly.

Good post.
If they 'don't make nice with the AAu coaches and Chicago HS coaches'....man it sounds like they weld so much power with these kids nowadays and that just leads to trouble all around the country with recruiting and kick backs ,etc. Sounds like a quagmire.
