22 Days to Purdue Basketball: Chase Martin
It is always good to see a legacy athlete come home where mom or dad played. That’s today’s new freshman walk-on for Purdue basketball.
Columbia, MO (Tolton HS)
6’3”, 195 pounds
Guard
2020-21 Projection: Deep reserve
Yes, the son of former Purdue great Cuonzo Martin has come home as a preferred walk-on. He is even wearing dad’s old number, too. Here are some high school highlights:
Martin had a rough road to Purdue, otherwise he would possibly have been a high rated recruit. He lost his freshman year of high school to a bone cyst on his femur. He eventually developed into a player that averaged around 11 points per game last season.
