Other Weekend Visitors

Published by Source on October 14th, 2011

We already have a pretty extensive list of prospects posted for Hoosier Hysteria this Saturday, but we have also put together a shorter list of visitors at other schools in the area. It is safe to say that no school, in the Midwest or anywhere else, has a list as big as Indiana’s, but top prospects from the classes of 2012-2015 will be attending scrimmages and Midnight Madness events all over.

There’s a rundown (not all-inclusive) after the jump:

DePaul Commit Profile: Jodan Price (2012)

Published by Source on September 28th, 2011

On Tuesday, Detroit product Jodan Price became the second member of the DePaul Blue Demons’ 2012 recruiting class. Price, a 6’6″ wing from Detroit Country Day, chose DePaul over Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Hofstra, Lamar, Saint Joseph’s and Western Michigan. He was also recruited and offered by Minnesota and Northwestern, but both cooled after receiving other commitments.

Price is ranked as the #133 overall prospect by Rivals and the 26th small forward in the class. His recruitment to DePaul was led by head coach Oliver Purnell, who also locked up a commitment from power forward DeJuan Marrero (Gary, IN) last month. Price committed just days after making an official visit to DePaul’s Chicago campus. His host on that visit was Donnovan Kirk, a Detroit Country Day alum currently on the Blue Demon roster.

DeJuan Marrero commits to DePaul

Published by Source on August 30th, 2011

DeJuan Marrero became the first member of head coach Oliver Purnell’s 2012 recruiting class earlier today after giving his pledge to DePaul University. The newest Blue Demon is a 6-5 SF from Thea Bowman Leadership Academy in Gary, Indiana.

The short distance from Gary to Chicago was a major factor in DeJuan’s decision, as he wanted to play somewhere close to his mother.

Marrero was also considering Illinois, a program which was thought by some to be the leader in his recruitment, but stated that they had recently backed off a bit. In the end, it was a mix of academics, promixity to home, a chance to play in the Big East and a long-standing relationship with DePaul assistant Billy Garrett that sealed the deal for the Blue Demons. Garrett was on the staff prior to Oliver Purnell taking over and it appears keeping him on staff paid big dividends in this recruitment. (more…)
