Bryce Drew would be a good fit. Young guy who knows the Chicago area well and has good heritage in the game. Not sure about the Hurleys as they are east coast guys and may not fit here. Howland? No. DePaul needs a young energetic guy to go out and pound the pavement and not only recruit, but market the program.
I know there is a lot going on in sports right now (NCAA tourney, HS Championships, Spring Training, NFL Free Agency), but the Purnell resigning made it to Page 7 in the Tribune today. There just is no buzz around this program right now and an old guy isn't going to change that.
