1952-53 SEASON REVIEW
Chicago State had a strong non-conference season, whereas DePaul just stayed afloat treading under .500 To make a return trip to the tourney, Chi State will likely need to win the CDC tournament, but at least it's clear last year wasn't a fluke.
I peeked at recruiting for both clubs and it's pretty clear the AI coach is not very good at identifying talent, so that's why recruiting classes are so bad because prestige really does impact who they go for and more often than not, those players are not as good as who they might be able to get otherwise. Lots of good talent gets left with no offers. but I'm just going to let it go for right now.
DePaul (12-19) will miss the post-season again, but with another new coach and the abysmal recruiting job he did, it's not a shock they weren't able to build on last season. I think all you can do is chalk this up to the rebuilding process and hope that the future is going to be brighter.
No signature wins at all.
