Judging by their 11-19 record, DePaul has not made much forward progress in Oliver Purnell’s third season as Head Coach. The team will finish in the bottom of the Big East and fail to earn a postseason invitation for the sixth straight year.

Next year’s roster will include a slew of seasoned senior leadership, and a freshman guard from Public League powerhouse Morgan Park who will have an immediate impact.
Just look at the banner that already hangs in his high school gym.
Billy Garrett Jr. set the Morgan Park High School record for points and assists.
