David Haugh: Max Strus stayed close to home to give DePaul a long-range shooting threat
CHICAGO - Things went so well for Max Strus on a recruiting trip to Xavier that his parents figured the process was over.
"We told Max that he didn't have to make the visit to DePaul," said Debra Strus, Max's mother.
But not even Mom and Dad realized how much staying close to home meant to a player known for his long range.
"That was important to me," said Max, a Stagg High School graduate.
DePaul coach Dave Leitao sensed that family-first vibe when Strus officially received his release from Division II Lewis University
