Now this I like. Purdue is DONE with its noncon schedule and already publicly disclosing. There are 360+ D-I teams and the Boilermakers are the first to share who they're playing next season.

Matt Painter's team will be ranked either No. 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 in the preseason.

Wrote about Braden Smith’s return to Purdue and how the Boilermakers are avoiding over-reliance on the transfer portal in the NIL era by developing from within + maintaining consistent roster continuity.

Braden Smith's return to Purdue shows how bucking trend of building through transfer portal can work

Smith shows the Boilermakers' commitment to developing its own stars can be successful in the portal era

Just in: There was widespread speculation about whether or not Braden Smith would transfer from Purdue. Those inside the program privately remained confident it was all just smoke.

Now it's official: The First Team All-American will return to the Boilermakers for his senior season.
