2014 PG Larry Austin is back on the market after opting out of his letter of intent at Tennessee today - https://recruitscoop.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1634467 …

More after effects from coaching changes. Don't think we ever pursued Austin and I doubt we would want to take him over some of the 2015 guards that are out there and in whom we have shown interest, but he is a point guard.

From the Bullseye tweets, I suspect Oliver Purnell will be pushing hard for him.

DePaul did get a commit from a JC shooting guard 6-5 Darrick Ward out of Hutchinson KS JC (DJO's alma mater). Would have to think Purnell needs to win this year to save his job but, then again, I thought he needed to win last year so that shows what I know.

Does Purnell need to "win" or does he need to "DePaul win"? Clearly there's quite a difference.
