Purdue Men's Basketball is actively exploring options in the NCAA transfer portal to improve their roster for the upcoming season, particularly focusing on the 4 and 5 positions. With Oscar Cluff likely leaving, the team is considering several candidates, including Camden Heide, who previously played at Purdue, and Johan Munch, a 6'11" player from Oregon State, who averaged 7.9 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. Another intriguing option is Anton Bonke, a 7'2" center from Charlotte, known for his ability to shoot from distance and averaging 10 points and 8 rebounds last season. Lastly, Eric Reibe, a 7'1" center from UConn, has entered the portal and could be a valuable addition, having averaged 8 points and 4 rebounds in his freshman year. Purdue currently has a limited number of scholarships available, making their recruitment strategy crucial. The continuity of returning players from last season's Elite Eight run may also influence the team's approach in the transfer portal, as head coach Matt Painter looks to maintain a strong core while addressing gaps in the roster.
