Congrats to our guy Charles Pur! One of the best kids we’ve ever been around. From South Sudan to Kent State, an amazing story. Fans can expect an impact from day one

NEWS: 2027 4⭐ Charles Pur has committed to Kent State, he tells @LeagueRDY.

The 6-foot-10 big man out of @SPIREHoops ultimately chose Kent State over South Carolina and Dayton among many others.

“It felt like home from the start, and more importantly, it's the perfect place for me to begin and grow.” Excellent pickup for Kent State.
