As it aims to keep its lineage of outstanding big men going, Purdue hopes it found just the man for the job in Caleb Furst.

The 6-foot-10, 230-some-pound forward/center from Fort Wayne's Blackhawk Christian was Purdue's first commitment toward the 2021 class and could project to play a prominent role in the Boilermaker frontcourt from Day 1.
