2021 Purdue Basketball Recruiting: Caleb Furst Commits

Fire up the recruiting siren, because Coach Painter just got a HUGE commitment for 2021!

Furst is a 6’8” forward from Ft. Wayne that plays for Ft. Wayne Blackhawk Christian. His team has had enormous success in the state the past few years with him. As a freshman they were 26-3 and lost in the Class A semi-state to Southwood. The only other losses were to Fort Wayne Dwenger and Fort Wayne North (when North had Keion Brooks). Last year as a sophomore Blackhawk went 28-2 and won the Class A state title. Due to the IHSAA success factory they moved up to Class 2A this season and they enter this week’s state tournament ranked No.
