However, Julius Mays announced on Sunday that he committed to the Kentucky Wildcats instead. Mays visited Purdue on Saturday and unofficially visited Kentucky the previous week. The impact of the recruiting miss on the Boilermakers next year is substantial. Purdue has only one true point guard on their roster next year (Ronnie Johnson) and he happens to be a true freshman. Mays scored 14.1 points for the Wright State Raiders last year and led the team in assists while shooting a proficient 42.4% from behind the arc. Purdue will have to count heavily on returning guards Terone Johnson and Anthony Johnson to contribute as point guards. The Boilermakers only have 11 returning scholarship players next year after the departures of guards Kelsey Barlow and John Hart. The backcourt is especially thin with only Terone Johnson, Anthony Johnson, Ronnie Johnson, Rapheal Davis, and Dru Anthrop (walk-on).

Mays, a 6-foot-2 guard, originally attended North Carolina State before playing last year at Wright State where he averaged 14 points per game. Julius Mays, a 6-foot-2 guard at Wright State who averaged 14.1 points this past season, announced he’ll go elsewhere and be able to play immediately for his final campaign. Mays told CBSSports.com that his initial list consists of Purdue, Michigan State, Kentucky, Cincinnati and possibly Michigan. Mays will have one year of eligibility after his transfer and will be able to play immediately. Michigan has two scholarships remaining for the 2012-13 season.
