Blaze a new trail, Biggie! Congratulations to Caleb Swanigan; hard work, dedication, and the right support paid off. Thanks for the memories and for choosing to be a Boilermaker, and......

Good luck in Rip City!

How is Woj reporting the 30th pick before the 29th pick is even turned in?

This also shows recruits that you can go to Purdue and be a first round pick.

 

[BoiledSteel]

Congrats Biggie. Shows you made the right decision to go.

And I LOVE that he celebrated the pick with the team. Those are great photos of the sheer joy the team had for him. Awesome.

So proud of Biggie. This is a huge deal, for him (obviously) and for the Purdue Family. He has earned every single thing he's gotten, and he's done it all the right way. What a wonderful night!

Landry, JJ, Hammons, Swanigan = Purdue bigs turned millionaires.

Can't hurt in recruiting.

Now let's get a first-round guard that we can tout with E'twaun and then just recruit whoever the hell we want.

With a big year, maybe Haas could go first round next year? I am not sure if that is too much of a stretch. You can't teach his size though.

That's the "Haarmsy Hop" and might work as an audition for H & H Block, the Sequel.

I liked how quick his arms were

Holy crap Haarms is agile for a giant.

I can see the Haarmsy Hop coming weakside out of nowhere and swatting a few shots players didn't even know he was in the same area code

 

[nagemj02]

Is that Stefanovic in the black shirt? Or is it someone else (perhaps a soon-to-be walk-on)?:

 

[WabashRiver]

That's really cool all the guys supporting Biggie like that. Who wouldn't want to come to Purdue and be part of a family like that?
