I think Chris Holtmann was a really good get for DePaul. He had a stretch where he made 7 NCAA tournaments in a row across 2 schools so hopefully he can get the ball rolling a little bit.
He got a few nice players in already. JJ Traynor started last year pretty hot for Louisville before injury, Skogman and Isaiah Rivera both have good positional size and shot 40% from 3 last year, Jacob Meyer averaged 15 a game for Coastal Carolina last year as a freshman. Lots of guys transferring up but some nice pieces for year 1 of a rebuild

I don't know if DePaul will be any good, but they will be one of, if not, the best perimeter shooting team in the conference.
SEVEN of their transfers shot 36%+ from three last season. If/when they go with rotations w/ Jacob Meyer at the 1 (15.7p, 5.1r, 2.6a, 40 3P% at Coastal Carolina) and David Skogman at the 5 (13.3p, 5r, 47 3P% at Davidson), they can go 5 out easily.
With all those shooters, it wouldn't shock me it Layden Blocker (#35 prospect of '23, transfer from Arkansas) leads the league in assists.
Their defense, though, will be bad. They'll play similarly to like a Charleston of last year.
