This announcement comes as no surprise, but walk-ons Tommy Luce and Grady Eifert will be on scholarship for the 2018-19 men’s basketball season:
I say this comes as no surprise because Purdue was only set to use 10 of its alloted 13 scholarships for men’s basketball this coming season. Eifert has technically been on scholarship each of the last two years as the “ranking” walk-on with Purdue having an extra spot each season. This past season he even played like a scholarship player. He made a name for himself early on and later played big minutes when Vince Edwards missed a few games with an ankle injury.
