Who Purdue Basketball Has Offered in the 2026 Recruiting Class

There are going to be plenty of roster spots to fill for Purdue's basketball team following the 2025-26 season. Heading into the upcoming season, the Boilermakers have six seniors on the roster, headlined by the trio of Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer, and Trey Kaufman-Renn.

Additionally, forward Sam King is entering his senior season and transfer additions Oscar Cluff and Liam Murphy both only have one year of eligibilty remaining. The Boilermakers will have to add quite a bit to the roster next year, whether it comes via high school recruiting or the transfer portal.

Right now, Purdue has just one player committed in the 2026 class, 6-foot-1 combo guard Luke Ertel. The Indiana native ranks as the No. 53 player in the cycle, per 247Sports.

The Boilermakers still have plenty of offers on the table, too. Most of those prospects in the 2026 class remain with a Purdue offer uncommitted at this time, though four-star forward Sheek Peterson did verbally pledge to Marquette.

So, who is still on the board for Purdue in the 2026 class? Here's a rundown of the offers, as well as highlights for each player. The list of offered prospects and rankings is aided by 247Sports.
