INDIANAPOLIS - Purdue did a tremendous job with its elite camp Saturday at North Central in Indy.
Not only did the Boilermaker coaches draw a big-time roster of talent from classes 2014-16, but they and their players ran a camp participants clearly looked forward to and enjoyed.
Purdue made this camp an event, as kids' tweets in advance of the camp and tweets following the it. Buzz is always a good thing in recruiting, and Purdue got some buzz out of this.
Here's a list of some of the headliners or more interesting players who were at the camp Saturday, which had about 125 players in it.
Kendall Stephens was the only Purdue commit who played, but Ronnie Johnson and Basil Smotherman were there watching. Smotherman's still in a boot. He's supposed to get it off next month.
These are guys I know for a fact were there, either because I saw them or have otherwise confirmed their presence. There were a lot of players and I'm undoubtedly leaving someone out.
