Class of 2016 recruits

Carsen Edwards accepted Purdue's offer August 11, 2015. He knew other guards had official visits to the university scheduled, and wanted to accept his offer while he had the chance. He said, "If I were to wait and let them get there, I may miss a good opportunity, so I went ahead and took it."[6]

Matt Haarms had his first official visit to Purdue in September 2016. Haarms liked Purdue's history of developing centers and forwards, saying "some of the greatest big men are coming out of Purdue." He committed to Purdue in October 2016.[7]
