RECRUITING UPDATES ON ROSE, KOSHWAL

August 28, 2006


There is some good news and some not-so-good news for DePaul on the recruiting trail for elite 2007 prospects. First, the good news: Derrick Rose Down to Five Schools (Illinois Prep Bulls-Eye) and DePaul is one of the five along with Memphis, Kansas, Indiana and UCLA. Interesting that Illinois is no longer listed, but Indiana is. Not sure if people are following the Eric Gordon recruiting saga...just struck me as interesting...

The not-so-good news is that Mac Koshwal Begins to set visit Dates (Ill Prep Bulls-Eye). Although, his setting visit dates is not reason to beleive DePaul is no longer the leader for the 6'8 low-block stud, but when you start tripping to schools like Louisville, USC, Tennessee and LSU during the month of September, things will certainly get more interesting. If Jerry Wainwright and his staff can land either of these studs, it goes a long way to legitimizing Depaul once again on the recruiting trail in Chicago and the Big East.


The Chicago Sun-Tmes also has an article on Derrick Rose's list of five, but goes into more detail that Marquette and Notre dame could receive unofficial visits: Rose Pares List to Five.
