“It was great,” shared Strait with PrepHoopsIowa. “Really got to see the campus and see how my life would be there. Met with all the coaching staff and talked with them about the program and how the future looks for them, especially with the new arena.”
DePaul is attempting to change the culture of the Blue Demon basketball program. It all starts with a new arena downtown Chicago. Among other glaring problems, the vast All-State Arena swallows up the fanbase, making the homecourt advantage a severe impediment.
By building an arena downtown they hope to eliminate the nasty commute required of fans, which often eroded the passion and depleted the support.
“Got to watch their practice and scrimmages, really love the style of play that they have, it’s very fast pace just drive, cuts, kick outs, it was how I like to play,” said Strait. “Said they are going to be coming to my games this winter at my high school. It really was a great visit!”
