Today was National Signing day over a number of sports and Purdue welcomed plenty of new Boilers.
Men’s Basketball had a class of 5. The class is ranked eighth by Rivals.com and ninth nationally by 247Sports. It is Purdue’s highest-ranked recruiting class since the class of 2007, when the Baby Boilers were ranked No. 4 nationally by Scout.com and No. 5 by Rivals.com. Guards C.J. Cox and Jack Benter, wing Kanon Catchings and post players Raleigh Burgess and Daniel Jacobsen have all submitted their paperwork and are now officially members of the Boilermakers. The crown jewel being Catchings, who becomes the second highest rated recruit ever for Matt Painter.
