Can’t think of anywhere else I’d rather be IN THE WORLD🌎

Do y’all notice who’s missing from this list like I do?

[Boiler Burner @BoilerBurner1]

Commit: Isaiah Hill
Ranking: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hometown: Indianapolis, IN.
Class: 2027.
Height/Weight: 7’0, 205.
Notables: #2 C in class of 2027 and #8 overall player, per ESPN.
Accolades: Marion County POY (2026), 2025 Peach Jam champion.
2026 Pike HS averages: 12 points, 10 rebounds, 4 blocks.
Offers: PURDUE, Louisville, lil bro, Notre Dame, Illinois, Syracuse.

BB Comp: Kel’el Ware (Miami Heat).

Hill has near identical height (7’0), weight (205 vs. 230), wingspan (7’4”) and vertical (36”) as Ware and plays a very similar game (shot blocking, 3-pt shooting and catching lobs).

Rankings as HS seniors:
Ware: 7 overall, 3rd center.
Hill: 8 overall, 2nd center.

One thing Hill is already better at than Ware is running the floor - Hill is faster and runs like a gazelle. IMO, Hill will be drafted higher than #15 in the NBA draft (Ware’s draft spot) whenever he declares.

The state’s BEST play at PURDUE.

Braden Smith at the @NBADraft Combine.

Top 25 (out of 67) in the following.

➡️ Spot-up shooting
➡️ 5-star shooting
➡️ Off the dribble shooting
➡️ Shuttle run
➡️ Max vertical leap

🔥 1-of-4 players in the top 25 in all 5 categories.

PSA: Not every commitment in Transfer Portal season is a great get.

High volume DOES NOT guarantee a large number of wins for the following year.

The 4 teams that played in the Final Four all retained at least 4 key players from the prior year.

Retention > Addition.

Braden Smith - Greatest PG in Purdue History. A laundry list of accolades including the Most Assists in CBB History. (1,103)

Fletcher Loyer - One of the best wings to ever come through this program. Most 3s in Purdue History. 1st to ever have 300 3's for the Boilers.

TKR - The epitome of Purdue. Leader. Loyal. One the best bigs to come through West Lafayette.

TKR redshirted for a year when he didn't have to. Waited his turn for 2 more years behind Edey when he didn't have to. Braden and Fletcher started Day 1 and never missed a game. A special group.

The End of an amazing Era.
