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.

Oliver was still waiting for Duke to get tired.

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

People in Winston-Salem are asking for him to come to Wake Forest.

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.

I've heard that if grandma had balls, she'd be grandpa.

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!
