#21 DJ Byrd (6'5, Guard/Forward, 214 lbs. Crawfordsville, In):
Byrd joins the Boilers as quite possibly one of the most recognizeable incoming freshmen in recent history. This is because DJ was at nearly every Purdue home game for the past two seasons. DJ is a very strong Guard who can score from everywhere and has an amazing 3-point shot. |
 |
#41 Patrick Bade (6'8, Forward, 235 lbs. Indianapolis, In):
Patrick Bade is a power forwward who runs the floor exceptionaly well. He is able to step out and hit a jumper, and once had a game in high school where he collected 22 rebounds. He was recruited by many Big Ten schools as a Tight End before deciding on basketball |
 |
#55 Sandi Marcius (6'9, Forward, 261 lbs. LaPorte, In):
Sandi was a late commitment to the incoming Purdue class. He will be very good in the post and has the ability to step out and hit a shot from about 15 feet. |
 |
#12 Kelsey Barlow (6'5, Guard/Forward, 199 lbs. Indianapolis, In):
Barlow can do just about everything, much like Robbie Hummel. Barlow can score inside and out, and can guard anyone from point guards to power forwards successfully. |
 |
#20 Kyle Coleman (6'4, Forward, 197 lbs. Tipton, In):
If Kyle Coleman was a little taller, he would be playing on scholarship somewhere. Fortunately for us, he has accepted an offer to walk on to our team this year. He is a very polished low post scorer and one of the best walkons we could possibly have join the team. |
 |
#1 Stevie Loveless (6'5, Guard/Forward, 196 lbs. Frankfort, In):
Stevie (left) turned down several division II scholarship offers to walk on with the Boilers this season. We saw him play once and all we could think was "poor man's Robbie Hummel." I wouldn't be surprised if we finds the floor before his career at Purdue ends. |
 |
#14 Dru Anthrop (6'0, Guard, 176 lbs. Lafayette, In):
Dru joins the Boilers as a walkon this season, fresh off being named the Lafayette area's small school basketball player of the year. He will play guard for the Boilers, and again, is one of the best walkons Purdue could have gotten. |
