Darian DeVries, a former Bulldogs coach, recently announced his departure from the team and his arrival at West Virginia as the new head basketball coach. This news has sparked rumors that his son, Tucker DeVries, may also be joining him at West Virginia.
Tucker DeVries, a true freshman who had been dealing with a shoulder injury for most of the season, recently discussed Drake basketball’s loss to Washington State in the NCAA Tournament. Despite the injury, he continued to play and contribute to the team’s success. He is now considering entering the transfer portal.
During his time at Drake, Tucker DeVries had made a significant impact on the court. In his junior season, he averaged impressive statistics and helped lead Drake to several victories, including two Missouri Valley Conference tournament championships and appearances in the NCAA Tournament. His departure may signal other Bulldogs players entering the transfer portal as well.
Darian DeVries had been very successful during his tenure at Drake with multiple conference championships and NCAA Tournament appearances under his leadership. The future of Drake basketball will certainly be impacted by these changes as they look to move forward without some key players and coaching staff members.
