Hitting the boards, and hitting the books.............damn proud of you big fella!!!!
So...he says he wants to be a teacher after Basketball and work with kids...Pretty noble if you ask me- and very understandable considering his early life experiences...
...who will make more money than almost all of us here and has probably worked harder for it too.
Of all his accomplishments, this one impresses me the most. How many two-and-done kids in ANY major at a prestigious academic school achieve this honor? I'd wager it's pretty rare.
Well done, Caleb. You'll make money in The League, and when you're done, you'll make a difference in people's lives.

For a kid who came to a Big Ten university a year early out of high school with hopes of being a one-and-done, that is freaking impressive. Shows tremendous character and integrity.
He has become such a good ambassador of Purdue. Success has not been an easy road for him but people believed in him and helped guide him when it was at that crucial point. He, himself had the drive to keep on path of his dreams. I'm not an easily impressed person but he stands out to me and I bow to Biggie. Basketball, yeah I love it, but even if our season ended tomorrow and he scored zero points, my high thoughts of him would not be blemished. Just a great story and it should become a book. "Biggie Dreams".
Sorry to get a bit heart-felt and emotional on this, but we all have known people or instances where similar life-things turned out bad.

Thank you Rosie Barns for helping Biggie do things the right way...In and out of the class room!!!
Wish i could give this post a few more 'likes'. He definitely should write a book about his life at some point, Im sure it would end up being more inspiring and impressive than most (even us) would expect.
