DePaul agreed with Clemson's Oliver Purnell late Monday on a seven-year contract that will pay Purnell well beyond his current $1.6 million salary he was making with the Tigers.

Purnell will be introduced at a 2:30 p.m. ET news conference Tuesday in Chicago, DePaul spokesperson Greg Greenwell confirmed.

Good for Clemson. Oliver wasn't their answer, never would be.

Didn't Minnesota just give him an extension after the other rumors were circulating?

He'll be a hot commodity this offseason. But if stays put and can't replicate this season I don't think he'll ever get the same monetary offers as now.

Dang it, wilson! You almost made me spew my 10:00 p.m. toast! That would be a big waste of lemoncello.

I liked Oliver Purnell. I wish he'd had UNC at the Dean Dome on his schedule this year. If he'd been able to lead Clemson to a victory over UNC in Chapel Hill this year, he would be the biggest celebrity to come out of South Carolina this year.

Instead, that honor goes to Mark Sanford--hiking the Appalachian Trail!
