Figuring out DePaul's roster is going to be like Solving a Rubik's Cube, and with Oliver Purnell saying tonight That he'd like to go nine or 10 deep in his rotation there are going to be a lot of opportunities. Some notes from Purnell:
They mentioned Both Jeremiah Kelly and Mike Stovall first as players, they expects To Be contributors.
Krys Faber is his only really big body on the team. It Looks Like He'll get a lot of playing time this season.
Devin Hill WTG Thurs fit Purnell's system a lot Better Than they ever did Jerry Wainwright's. Also, Hill is Probably the second-tallest player on the team behind Faber.
Purnell intends to install his system Clemson, But They Also Said He'll do whatever it takes to win games with this team, Including a potentially slowing the pace down.
More from Purnell's Q & A with the media tomorrow. Now it's time for the three-point and dunk contests!
Northwestern:
Unfortunately Bill Carmody, John Held Shurna and Drew Crawford out of the dunk contest, But it was still an entertaining event. Here are somethings Notes from the scrimmage - In Which the Women and men participated at the sametime. You'll see from the notes That there wasn't much Defense Played.
Final Tally for JerShon Cobb's first game as a Wildcat: 1-3 from long distance (most of Crawford Guarding That with him), two dunks, and a block (of a woman). They showed "some good Instincts and was a good sport about everything. Also, Let It Be Known That is Cobb's first touch as a Northwestern Wildcat in a public setting, they never come. He'll Probably fit right into the Princeton Offense.
More Cobb notes: Michael Thompson is the freshman, "He's a great player. He's More Than Just the offensive player That everyone Labeled him as. They plays Both ends of the court really well. He's a good player defensively and he's fit in really with the offense. "
Jeff Ryan was wearing a boot on his left foot is, But That everyone insisted it was precautionary. Probably has to do with running for the first time in months and is putting a bunch of muscle in the interim. Ryan did coach the Purple team, Which escaped with a 46-43 victory.
Shurna made up for the Fact That He Was not going to be in the dunk contest by throwing down somethings Powerful stuff in warm-ups, Including One Where They Took off from just inside the free throw line, and DURING the scrimmage.
The crowd was pretty good. Carmody complemented the fans and credited with Helping Them Out in Northwestern's wins against Purdue and Illinois last season. "Both Those games our fans made a difference," they said. "It put us over the top against two pretty nice clubs."
I know it's early, But Certainly the Wildcats are searching for Crucial That back-up point guard That CAN spell Thompson at times. Alex Marcotullio somethings Played point guard DURING the scrimmage and looked tentative. Though the format doesn't really suit his game anyways. Hopefully Marcotullio or Ryan Can be That Guy.
And finally, Thompson Provided somethings spreads through to the proceedings. They wore a sombrero at one point and got to dunk Also thanks to the help of assistant coach Tavaras Hardy.
