Purdue basketball`s summer highlights spark excitement as they aim for the national championship with a talented roster.

Purdue basketball has electrified fans with a newly released four-minute highlight video from their summer practices, showcasing a roster brimming with talent and potential. Stars like Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer, Trey Kaufman-Renn, CJ Cox, and Gicarri Harris are back, ready to build on last season`s impressive 24-12 record and Sweet 16 run in the NCAA Tournament. The return of 7-foot-4 center Daniel Jacobsen, who is back from injury, adds a formidable presence in the paint.

New faces are also making waves, including transfers Oscar Cluff and Liam Murphy, alongside recruits Antione West Jr. and Omer Mayer. The excitement is palpable as Purdue is now considered a frontrunner for the 2025-26 national championship.

In international play, Jacobsen and Mayer are making headlines at the FIBA U19 World Cup. Jacobsen delivered a standout performance against Jordan, scoring 15 points and blocking five shots, while Mayer leads the tournament in scoring with an astonishing average of 23.7 points per game, including a record-setting 33-point outing against Cameroon. As the Boilermakers gear up for the upcoming season, the anticipation is building for what promises to be an exhilarating year of college basketball.
