Purdue Eyes Top Center Erick Dampier Jr

Already averaging 15 points and 13 rebounds as a sophomore while shooting 70% from the field, Dampier Jr. is drawn to Purdue’s big-man-friendly system and strong rapport with the coaching staff. With offers from Mississippi State and others, the Boilermakers are making serious noise as a top contender for this elite prospect’s commitment.
