We are almost in the teens until Purdue Basketball starts up again and today we highlight a preferred walk-on player with a familiar name. Josh Furst is a 6’6’ forward who is brother to Caleb Furst. Josh averaged 19.1 points and 8.6 rebounds his senior year for Blackhawk Christian out of Fort Wayne and helped lead the team to a state championship.
Josh and Caleb got to play together in highschool for two years but I doubt we see them together much on the court this season. With the depth and talent on this Purdue roster I assume Josh will redshirt for the year as he adjusts to basketball at a college level.
