DePaul Review 2024

[Demon22]

Jaden Henley is in the portal.

He's the other one that I wouldn't have minded if he decided to return.

That said, I'm not going to get too broken up about anyone that decides they want to leave from a 3-29 team.

Churchill Abass is also in the portal.

Caleb Murphy is in the portal.

Murphy's signing was the one that really started to sour me on the previous staff. I just never understood it.

DePaul has received a commitment from Indiana transfer G/F CJ Gunn.

Per his Instagram page, Missouri State big man NJ Benson has committed to DePaul.

Excited to see a brand new team for DePaul next year. The benefit of going portaling.

[Demon22]

It's official... every single player from this past season is either out of eligibility, or they're in the transfer portal.

Again... not shocked.

Guard David Thomas has announced that he will transfer to DePaul following his freshman season at Mercer.

[Demon22]

Coastal Carolina freshman guard Jacob Meyer announced that he is transferring to DePaul.

If you're keeping track, DePaul is up to six players for 2024-25:

F Troy D'Amico (Southern Illinois)
G/F CJ Gunn (Indiana)
C/F NJ Benson (Missouri State)
G David Thomas (Mercer)
G Jacob Meyer (Coastal Carolina)
G/F Chris Riddle (Kenwood Academy)

I believe it's been reported that Holtmann is retaining Paris Parham from Tony Stubblefield's staff in some capacity. Not sure it'll be as an assistant, though.

Another name to keep an eye on is Ohio State assistant Brandon Bailey, who previously worked for Brad Stevens with the Celtics. He also graduated from DePaul, and worked as a student assistant for Oliver Purnell.

Bailey reported to be the 3rd assistant. Wonder if Parham will still stay. I’d imagine going from assistant to anything else like DOBO would be considered a demotion?

Edit: teams can have 5 assistants (only 3 can recruit off campus) now? Are they able to sit on bench during games and coach?
