Jacob Meyer - Huge off bench in OT win Meyer finished Monday's 80-78 OT victory over Southern Indiana with 23 points (8-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and three rebounds over 33 minutes.

Impact Meyer entered the game as the sixth-man, but he ended up playing more minutes (33) than two of DePaul's starters, likely because of his prolific scoring abilities. The sophomore guard was scoring machine throughout the matchup, but his biggest moment of the game was a nailed three-pointer with 1.7 seconds left in regulation to send the game to OT. This huge day for the 6-foot-2 Coastal Carolina transfer could put him in the starting lineup if not keep his minutes at 30+ moving forward.

CJ Gunn - Out Monday Gunn (undisclosed) will sit out during DePaul's season opener against Southern Indiana, Joey Pollizze of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Gunn who has been limited with an undisclosed injury that held him out of last week's exhibition game against Illinois Wesleyan, will be unavailable Monday. The 6-foot-7 junior, who joined the Blue Devils this offseason after averaging 3.9 points and 0.8 steals on 12.9 minutes per game with Indiana last season (29 games), will need to wait on making his debut with DePaul.

CJ Gunn - Game-time decision Monday Gunn (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for DePaul's game Monday against Southern Indiana, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Unlike teammate Conor Enright (undisclosed), who also sat out DePaul's lone exhibition of 2024 but is available against Southern Indiana, Gunn did not recover or have his problem solved as quickly. The latter being a game-time decision indicates his injury status will be updated Monday.

Conor Enright - Available against Southern Indiana Enright (undisclosed) will be available for DePaul's game Monday against Southern Indiana, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Fortunately for Enright, him sitting out the lone game of DePaul's 2024 preseason was not going to make its way into regular-season action. He averaged 6.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists across his 33 games (all started) for Drake's 2023-24 team. Enright has experience being a top player, but the question is if he can be that for a team at a higher level. DePaul's non-conference games should help answer that question.

Conor Enright - Out for exhibition game Enright (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's exhibition game, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Enright is expected to serve as DePaul's starting point guard this year after transferring from Drake, where he averaged 6.9 points in 26.2 minutes last season. While the severity of Enright's injury isn't known, David Thomas would likely take over the starting job if the junior does miss time in the regular season.

Isaiah Rivera - Fully cleared from hip injury Rivera (hip) has been fully cleared for all basketball-related activities, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Rivera averaged 15.4 points and 2.1 three-pointers made across 33 games in the 2023-24 season with Illinois-Chicago, and he figures to play a key role on offense on a revamped DePaul roster. If he stays healthy, he should open the year as the team's starting small forward.

Isaiah Rivera - Not fully cleared from hip injury Rivera is not fully cleared from his hip injury, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Sometime between Rivera's commitment to DePaul and Wednesday, he suffered a hip injury that reduces his current status to less than 100 percent healthy. There is still time for him to recover before DePaul's 2024-25 season begins, though it does happen to be barely a few months.

JJ Traynor - Fully cleared Traynor (shoulder) is fully cleared, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Multiple shoulder injuries prevented Traynor from maximizing his opportunities during Louisville's 2023-24 season, which was followed up on with him transferring. For a DePaul team struggling in the Big East, he will look to help matters, especially after having his latest and most promising campaign cut short. Traynor averaged 10.1 points and 4.6 rebounds across his eight games played for Louisville's 2023-24 team.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

David Skogman - Finally cleared Skogman (foot) is fully cleared, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Skogman had been dealing with a foot problem since the beginning of 2024, culminating with season-ending surgery that forced him to sit out the remainder of Davidson's 2023-24 season. But since then, he has earned a transfer to DePaul, whose basketball program is in need of a boost and believes the redshirt senior can help. Skogman averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.9 three-pointers made across his 17 games during Davidson's latest season.
