NOVEMBER 28Volume 1Issue 12

MEN’S HOOPS - 2007Draelon Burns bombarded the Texas A&M Corpus-Christi defense with deadly accuracy the night of November 28th, 2007. An 8-8 performance from the three point line highlighted Burns’ night as the Blue Demons rolled 85-70. This was the most three-point field goals made in a game and the best percentage in DePaul men’s basketball history. Burns was no stranger to scorching the net as he finished his career with 1,329 points and the 2007-2008 season with 63 three-pointers made, good for 9th best all time. Burns also owns the number 19 spot with 46 three-point field goals made in the 2006-2007 season.

WOMEN’S HOOPS - 2006DePaul women’s basketball team left one of the nation’s toughest arenas with a standing room only crowd on the victorious side of a 71-70 score against UW-Green Bay . Caprice Smith’s jumper in the lane through traffic beat the buzzer as the Blue Demons won their fourth straight game. Smith, who scored a career-high 22 points, took an inbounds pass from Jenna Rubino with just five seconds on the clock and beat her defender for an eight-footer. Three players totaled at least 10 rebounds with Erin Cat-tell totaling a career-high 14 caroms for the second straight game.

NAME: David Booth SPORT: Men’s Basketball YEARS PARTICIPATED: 1988-1992

What does being a DePaul Letterwinner mean to you? It means being part of a great tradition of student-athletes that have gone on to do great things in life.Why did you choose DePaul? I chose DePaul because it was close to my home in Peoria,Illinois. If I ever wanted to get back for a home cooked meal it was a short drive, yet I was far enough that I could grow and mature on my own.What was your favorite memory at DePaul? My favorite memory at DePaul was being able to use basketball as an avenue to see and stay in different parts of the country that I may have never had the chance to experience on my own. It really exposed me and opened my eyes to see that there are bigger and better things to reach for in life.What did receiving a scholarship from DePaul mean to you? It meant a lot to receive a scholarship from DePaul because it took a lot of pressure off of my parents wondering how they were going to afford my college education. It is also very possible that I would be still paying student loans back to this day if I did not receive a scholarship from DePaul.What was your funniest memory while at DePaul? My funniest memories at DePaul has to be how Coach Ray Meyer would keep me in check with his sense of humor. Coach Ray once said “Booth you are good for 40 points a game, the 20 points that you get and the 20 points that the man you are defending gets”.Brief summary of your life from graduation till now:After I left DePaul in 1992 I was blessed to play 14 years as a professional. I then went and worked for the Memphis Grizzlies for four years as their Southeast Regional Scout. I served as an assistant coach for DePaul for one season. I’ am now entering my second season as the Midwest Regional Scout for the New Orleans Hornets.Is there a recent highlight that you would like to share with Alumni and friends of DePaul Athletics?I think a recent highlight that I have experienced is how my children have been able to be around and get to know the DePaul family that has helped mold me into the person that I am today.What advice would you give to a current or future student-athlete?The advice that I would give is to cherish your time while you are young and not to take anything for granted. I would also say never look down on someone unless you are reaching to help pick them up.
