New recruit

Good to see interest in some higher rated players Purdue has offered. Yah I realize the ratings and stars are just that and they may actually not perform any better than others at the next level. He was offered in July of ‘24. Looks like a good player and athleticism in his family since his dad had a professional career. Seems to be increasing interest from guys offered in the 2026 class… Bass, Bo Ogden, Talen Kinney, Trey Thompson and Steven Reynolds all taking visits… I just think its fun tracking interest and the recruiting of potential Boilers!
Totally agree. Assuming 2025 class is closed unless there is a diamond in the rough and late offer situation. Feel like Painter will use extra spots for some veteran transfers.
Probably need to start a thread again on 2026 recruits
Which I think you can attribute to Braden and what he has been able to do.
You keep hearing recruits talk about our 'family' like program, winning tradition, atmosphere, and great coaches. I hope this helps land a few of these highly rated players.....fingers crossed.
What would we take, maybe 2 of those combo guards? Is Kinney actually more of a 1? Obviously, Reynolds may be our #1 target, but that's a really good list of talent that we are targeting.
Absolutely! It's been a misconception of those outside the program for a while that all we are is Big Man U... We can (and are I think) both Big Man U and Guard U
We’ll have some potential “cap space” freed up in 2026.
So help me with this. I know in football they eliminated the roster size, right? Didn't something similar happen with basketball?
Men’s basketball roster size is going to a limit of 15 counting scholarship players and walk ons. All 15 can be scholarship players.
That’s right. Curious to see what type of turnover we will have at the end of the season.
I don’t like to speculate but Furst for sure and wouldn’t be shocked of 1 or 2 others.
