Perhaps Emmanuel Dowuona? https://www.basketballghana.com/2017/06/27/standout-ghanaian-center-dowuona-leaning-toward-purdue/
Last line of the article is confusing but whatever.

First to commit?
- Thread starter ChoiceBeef
- Start date
If not, I will have a meltdown for a day and then regroup.
Wow. Just looked him up. I didn't realize he was number 63 on the ESPN Top 100. Not that that means everything, but it isn't nothing. And yes, I meant to use all that awkward wording. 
My guess is Dowuona.....good and athletic...just needs to work on his hands.....but he can run the floor and rebound if he is taught how to get in position and use his length.
His video he is reaching and not boxing out....but I like he can run the floor, plays defense and finish around rim.
I wish the first to commit would be Bingham, then Anderson, then two strong guards...preferably Hunter and Langford then best athlete be it Dowuona, Johns, Bates, Johnson or Phinisee etc etc........hey one can dream right.
Painter has good offers out to some talented young men...I am sure we will get another great class and keep the train moving.

Probably have a better shot at Bingham than we did with Johns, but really have no idea on this one. Would be a huge pickup.
Agree. Also I feel like we were on him well before he blew up.
Fingers crossed
Given he was recruited by Butler before the coaching change, OSU would be my guess
Be highly surprised if it is Purdue...
1. We never get a highly ranked kid out of Mich.
2. He is sought after by alot of schools. Thus low odds anyway.
3. CMP does not land kids early. He often lets others have their pick first and then searches out other big time late bloomers later when the competition is full and no longer looking.
note slight sarcasm.... 4. MSU on Bingham

I'll go with Anderson as the first to commit. I think he ends up like Carsen did as a senior and blows up a bit. I think with his offensive ability and a candidate for Mr. Basketball, he may end up as a top 75 guy (currently 103).

Didn't even look at the numbers and who ever runs this seems to be 50/50 on their predictions.
I will not make any more predictions. I was so certain Carmody was coming here and I was wrong again. I am such a failure at these things. I can't take it any more.
Never, never again will I make predictions on Purdue recruits.
I said NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll wait to see who we get come next August, of 2018. Not going to ruin my summer.
Don't care who it is as
long as he plays lock down zone!!!

Purdue has no shot. We did early, and once he blew up, no more tweets about Purdue or likes on Purdue tweets. I am guessing MSU, OSU, or IU. No reason to suddenly rush to join Purdue. Possibly OSU or MSU to lock up a spot.
I really want him. He was my favorite player of the class for Purdue. I just don't see it. Hope I'm wrong.
Yep, It lasted two minutesHard habit to break.......
I was going to predict your prediction you wouldn't predict again wouldn't last. We are all experts here.
In speculative order of likelihood:
1. Dowuona
2. Embery
3. Anderson
4. Hunter
5. Williams
1. Dowuona
2. Embery
3. Anderson
4. Hunter
5. Williams
That account is one of many who is saying MSU.Snow said he would be "beyond shocked" if it isn't MSU...
Anderson, Dowuona, Embrey...Hunter......Bates, Williams.......
Still lots of good players that would look good in Black and Gold.

Talk about a log jam in the front court for the future, having fun finding minutes your first few years.
Next up Boiler Up!
obviously he wanted to play for MSU rather than start immediately.
It's a shame, but if MSU was what he grew up cheering for, it makes sense. Would have started immediately and been a beast right away at Purdue. I can't stand MSU, but I do still hope him the best. Hopefully he goes one and done so I can go back to full on MSU hate.
As we all are. Except we who are not.You are a wise and logical Boiler
