“I chose Purdue because to me it just felt most like home when I was there. Not only was it a school I always wanted to go to growing up, but they expressed the same interest I had towards them with me. My skill set and size is a good fit and I can really help them moving forward," West told On3's Joe Tipton following his commitment.

Last season at Whitmer High School (Toledo), West averaged 20.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per contest. He was named Division I All-Ohio First Team following the 2023-24 season.
