We got the good news of Caleb Furst and Trey Kaufman officially signing today, but now some bad news. Eric Hunter Jr., Purdue’s second leading scorer last season, will miss the next 6-8 weeks with a broken tibia:
Hunter averaged 10.6 points and 2.6 assist per game last year as he made a big leap in his second season last year. He also led Purdue in minutes played at 31.5 minutes per night. He was poised to move into a strong leadership role this year one a team with no seniors and I kind of views him as this team’s Raphael Davis in terms of leadership.
