To get back to DePaul, I don't see DePaul competing next year because I don't think they can draw big name recruits. DePaul isn't necessarily a big-time program and you can bet that all the big name state recruits will be going to Illinois. Unless they come up with a big recruiting strategy, I think the program may be finding out what last place is like. Switching to thew Big East may have been a huge risk.

What do you guys think about DePaul going into the Big East next year? Facing top ranked teams will probably be a challenge for them since they have a hard time dominating C-USA as it is. I mean, they have a respectable record, but if they can't take out Memphis or Cincinatti, how are they gonna beat teams like Syracuse or UCONN? Do you think they have much of a chance to compete?
