Purdue is limping into the Big Ten Tourney on a five game losing streak, but a rematch with Indiana looms.

Putting together a thread for some notes on this weekend’s NCAA Evaluation Period, which features the EYBL in Indianapolis and 3SSB (Adidas) in Texas.

Per National Recruiting Analyst Greg Smith and Maize & Blue Review Publisher Josh Henschke, four-star Purdue commit Tarrion Grant took an unofficial visit to Michigan over the weekend.

Purdue is nowhere close to done in the recruitment of Grant, who is a potential flight risk until he signs the dotted line in December.

Rising 2026 wing Lincoln Williams showed off his athleticism and defensive prowess at EYBL session III on Friday night.

Boiler Upload talks with the Illinois native, who Purdue has shown interest in, and offers a breakdown of his showing.

Brilliant strategy to bring the party together and raise funds for his legal fees.

“Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website. “We don’t want them, and will not accept them.”

Purdue is playing in its own regional at Kampen. 5th seeded but with a decided home course advantage. I don't follow the college game a ton but they are playing it LONG today anyway. The card shows 7461 yards. They're almost done with round 1 and are sitting -4, 3rd place and 6 shots behind #1 seed Vanderbilt. Indiana also in the regional sitting at +2.

Purdue Pete and the Notre Dame Leprechaun both have a shot at becoming Hall of Famers.

Tonight's recap as Illinois makes an early 5-0 lead hold up for a 5-4 win over Purdue.

Adam Soldati is perhaps one of the greatest coaches Purdue as ever had. A man of great character and with outstanding leadership qualities. He has done so much for Purdue and its student athletes. It saddens me to learn that he has ALS and is forced to reassign. I admire is character, his faith, and his love for Purdue and his athletes. God bless you, Adam. Norm

He’s been here 18 years. He’s actually getting worse as a tourney coach.
Time to clean out the Keady/Painter era and make a change that will change the Purdue culture and perception.

Just got off the phone with 2025 three-star defensive end Eli Jones, who tells Boiler Upload that he will be taking an official visit to Purdue from June 7-9.

Jones is currently committed to South Florida, but the Boilermakers are piquing his interest.

Dem inflation costing ALL of us $20 to $30,000 due to Biden's failed policies. Anyone OK with that, truly must hate themselves.

After all, not all these libs are super rich & $20-30K is a new small boat, a few vacations, a good down payment on a new car, or a down payment for a pool in the backyard. To prefer Biden over any of those luxuries ....is, well, some clear evidence of psychological self hate.

I know BNI talks a lot about blacks who hate themselves ..... ironically his Biden support, proves he IS who he is talking about. Lol 😎

Used to be radical white libs hated themselves because of race. That has evolved. Now ALL libs have been trained to hate themselves because of capitalism, law enforcement, climate, war, Israel.... whatever their Marxist leaders tell them is the current crisis.

The basketball schedule is starting to come together, and today another piece dropped.
