Ohio State transfer Eric Wallace had visited DePaul and was contemplating a visit to LSU last weekend, but instead he decided that he would make the Blue Demons his future team. After sitting out the 2008-2009 season with DePaul, Wallace will have three years of eligibility remaining, beginning in the 2009-2010 season.

Wallace played just 72 minutes last season in 15 games with the Buckeyes averaging 1.8 PPG. Wallace is a 6’7 forward, originally from North Carolina, who spent an extra prep season at Hargrave Military Academy before signing with Ohio State.

DePaul still has one open scholarship for the 2008-2009 season, which looks most likely to go unused. With the recent de-commitment of Cully Payne, the Blue Demons look like they can count on at least three scholarships being available for the 2009 recruiting class. Some early targets that have emerged include Dan Jennings of New York City, Christian Webster of Maryland and David Brown of Illinois
