DePaul. (caveat: assuming they learn how to play even marginal defense).

Butler I think many would have been ok with- except for the injury they had to Roosevelt Jones. Think more are concerned about his loss than losing Stevens...

Very true. The loss of Jones is crucial. We've found a shooter in Brown, but he is a freshman. We'll be thin up front, both literally and figuratively.

I think a lot of you are overlooking Depaul because their Defense sucked in the old rough and tumble big east. However, remember they made rule changes essentially negating any form of physical defense so that's why I see the super offensive minded, defense lacking Demons as a possible sleeper. Of all of us they and Creighton (you guys were physical for maybe 3 games a year not enough to say it was consistent) will have the least changing on Defense

I think people are going to be shocked at how big depaul is this year:

Starters
6-4 PG B Young
6-3 SG C. McKinney
6-4 SG J Crockett
6-8 PF C Melvin
6-9 PF S Marcius


Bench?

6-5 PG B Garrett
6-6 SF DeJuan Marrero
6-10 C T Hamilton
6-9 PF G Sequele
6-10 PF F Robinson

Wouldn't be shocked to see them have Young play off ball to allow him more shots, and get Garrett starting at PG

Yeah it helps to have pops on the coaching staff. I'm interested to see how they fit all these new guys together, seems like that's the common story in the bE this year.

We'll know a lot about DePaul before the conference season starts...
11/13- Southern Miss
11/25- vs Wichita St
11/26- vs BYU or Texas
12/1- vs Oregon St
12/6 vs Arizona St
11/27 @ Northwestern

that's 6 pretty good OOC games to get an idea of how they are...

then they maybe more than anyone get a welcome to conference play- @ Georgetown, @ Marquette, and Creighton. Yikes!

But 4 seniors and 5 Juniors, I know a couple were transfers but that's decent experience. And regaurding Garrett I think McDermott shows us what a dad coaching can do.
