Neither school seems to have great support from administration, and at least at DePaul the expectations are low so any progress will be a positive. Mullin has clearly done better recruiting wise, but with Garrett, Henry, and Hamilton in place, Leitao has something to work with.
It will be very interesting to watch those two programs over the next 2-3 years.
