If Devan Bawinkel bolts and wants to come back to the midwest, could we find a scholarship?

My guess is Bawinkel would wind up at DePaul as they were his 2nd choice, if he does leave WVU.

But the DePaul coaching change in spring of 2005 is perhaps the main reason Bawinkel changed his mind and dropped DePaul from the top of his list. Shortly thereafter, he committed to WVU. Only time will tell if he stays in West Virginia.

There was a post on one of the DePaul boards saying that DePaul couldn't be the beneficiary of another Big East team's signed recruits. I have no idea if this is a Big East rule or not.

I didn't know he committed that early.

I wonder who gets the Butler job? My guess is Paul Lusk from Purdue now that Lowery stayed in Carbondale.

Jim Molinari to Butler?

Jim Molinari to Butler?

They certainly play his style!

How about Pat Sullivan from St. Francis in Joliet? It's NAIA, but that dude is a legend. He would love the Butler job.

Wow DC droppin Pat Sullivan as a coaching candidate for a DI job...I totally agree with you that PS is a coaching legend here in Joliet. However, that would be quite a jump from little St. Francis to the Horizon League...interesting thought though. Afterall Loyola tapped Lewis for their head coach.
