It’s been an unexpectedly terrific spring for DePaul. They landed the services of Shane Hierman, a well-known coach from La Lumiere High School in Indianapolis, they landed top-flight recruit Tyger Campbell in May, and they were in it till the finish for five-star recruit Brian Bowen.
While Bowen wound up choosing Louisville, the fact that DePaul, who has won all but 11 conference games in the last three seasons, was chasing him down while grabbing a blue-chip recruit in Campbell indicates that maybe, just maybe, they’re close to turning a corner in Lincoln Park.
The month of June wasn’t super-duper active for DePaul, but some groundwork was still laid.
