Purdue’s 2028 Power Forward Commit
Purdue basketball just locked down a future big man: Jamyn Sondrup, a 6-foot-9 power forward from Utah, who’s committing to the Boilermakers but won’t suit up until 2028—after completing a two-year mission trip. Already a top-150 recruit with elite senior stats (17 PPG, 12 RPG), Sondrup’s size and skill make him a potential game-changer for Coach Painter’s roster when he turns 20. The real test? Staying sharp during his time away—because if he develops physically and mentally, he could be a cornerstone for Purdue’s future. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com...
