Delalic to DePaul

Trying to understand why DePaul. I lived in Chicago and know DePaul. It is not likely that they would / could offer him more $ than Pitt as Chicago is loaded with BB talent but cannot compete very well with the big schools. Maybe he thinks he has a better chance to play at DePaul? Or he wanted to go to another place or bigger city? Or the coach hinted for him to leave Pitt?? Any further thoughts?
 
I assume playing time explains a lot of these sort of transfers if the money is similar. FWIW there is a very large population who speak the language referred to as Serbian, Croatian, or Bosnian (hint, it's actually the same language) in Chicago but would be surprised if that drove a transfer decision!

DePaul is literally the worst P5 program so he is going to play. And Chicago and St. Louis have the largest Bosnian population in the US.

DePaul was better than Pitt by March last season. Holtmann can get them back to .500 in the Big East most years, IMO.

The connection with Bosnian makes sense as it is the same for immigrants from Poland who love Chicago as it has many people of Poland heritage.

Might not be related to $$. I still thought international students could not receive NIL money?

I don't know how many times I have to say this isn't true. You just have to send them home and make an appearance at a camp. Pitt did this with Delalic, Ndiaye, and Kante last season. Probably the twins too but I didn't see that one on IG. It's the workaround. Go home, stop by a local camp and here's your NIL for the year.

Relax, apparently you needed to say it one more time. That's why there's a question mark at the end of my sentence. Good to know.
