OT: DePaul basketball...what a terrible program

[bthaunert]

For those of us a little older, we can remember when DePaul was good in the 70's, 80's and early 90's. Look at heir record since joining the Big East in 2005:

2023/24: 3-27
2022/23: 10-23
2021/22: 15-16
2020/21: 5-14
2019/20: 16-16
2018/19: 19-17
2017/18: 11-20
2016/17: 9-23
2015/16: 9-22
2014/15: 12-20
2013/14: 12-21
2012/13: 11-21
2011/12: 12-19
2010/11: 7-24
2009/10: 8-23
2008/09: 9-24
2007/08: 11-19
2006/07: 20-14
2005/06: 12-15

2 winning records over the last 19 seasons
3 or less conference wins in 12 of the 19 seasons

It's crazy how bad their program is now.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Kids don't want to stay in Chicago. I think this might be cultural. Get away from crime and the inner city.

Dwayne Peevy is there

Dwayne Peevy is there

DePaul is a beautiful campus in a really cool area of Chicago. As far as inner-city schools go, it's a pretty nice location. The budget thing is obviously an issue. Just crazy that they are that bad.

Dwayne made a bad hire with Stubblefield..he was a bump on a log at Oregon. Peavy is also not the most well liked guy on campus either. Will be interesting to see what happens with him.

You still can stay attached to who you grew up with as opposed to going to IU or UK.

I remember hearing Matt Jones suggest somewhat recently (last ~6 months) that Peevy should be our next AD. What a joke

Matt's also really good friends with Peavy, so that doesn't surprise me. He would be an absolute no for me, simply based on the fact he wasn't involved with football at UK and there is no football program at DePaul.

I don't think DePaul's neighborhood qualifies as inner-city. It's not suburban, sure, but it's a great area of town. Neighborhoods: the great thing about Chicago.

I agree. I was just at DePaul a few months ago for a couple of days. Seems like a great spot for a college kid.

 

[SkyPrince1]

All the "city" programs have fell off.
DePaul, St John's, Temple, UNLV, Georgetown.
Houston and Marquette have managed though.

 

[TankedCat]

DePaul is in a great location. We went on a campus visit a few years ago to the University of Chicago, and went over to DePaul while we were there. I ended up liking DePaul much better.

 

[BlueBomb]

Mark Aguire ain't walkin' through that door.

 

[pappy52]

Well DePaul may have a very Bad basketball program because they only won 3 games this year....HOWEVER THEY BEAT LOUISVILLE. SO THEY AINT THE WORSE.

Only reason to hire him would be his background as assistant AD at UK, not what he's done as an actual AD. No different than UofL hiring Kenny

 

[docholiday51]

Sorta like being 9-16 once upon a time. Other than UL we shouldn't run any other program down. We aren't getting the mileage out of ours that we should be getting

 

[rick64]

They were once a very solid program back in the day when Ray Meyer was the HC.

 

[blackcat714]

They used to be decent back in the late 70’s early 80’s when Ray Meyer was coach

So did Dwayne win all those games? 😂

C’mon man. That was a singular season with extenuating circumstances.

Comparing one bad season and three missed tournaments (09, 13, 21) with two whole decades of failing to win 20 games seems like a biiiiit of reach.

They have their own bar to reach. We haven't been reaching ours in quite some. That's why we shouldn't talk.

Or Ray Meyer coaching

 

[jeffky]

Have not been relevant since Ray Meyer retired his son tried to sustain but epoch fail

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

St. John's finished a 30-6 run to close the 1st half on them last night.

 

[Blueworld_3.0]

OP, I was thinking the same thing as Pitino's Johnnies put a beat down on them last night. You have to believe eventually they'll find the right coach that can at least make them competitive. They seem to have good facilities and you'd think a strong pool of talent to work with. Kinda like St Louis U.

 

[KYExtemper]

Rumor is that they want to Bobby Hurley for this job. He's had struggles at Arizona State, though.

 

[billCgmx]

I still remember the days of Mark Agguire, Dallas Comegys, Terry Cummings and Clyde Bradshaw.

I wasn’t aware his son Joey passed away in 2023. He seemed young. 74 years old.

 

[mc140]

They have no NIL and have been run like Juco operation for years.

 

[blubo]

I turned the st j/depaul game on last night with 12:30 left in the 2d half and stj was up 80-43. i thought they might hang 150 on them.
