32 Days to Purdue basketball: Matt Haarms

WE’RE JUST 32 DAYS AWAY FROM PURDUE BASKETBALL!

With another foot injury to Jacquil Taylor, today’s player could take on more of a role than anticipated going into the season.

7’2” redshirt freshman Matt Haarms has come a long way from the Netherlands to play for Coach Matt Painter. Initially he was a part of this 2017 class, but due to some issues with eligibility, he came to campus halfway through the season last year and took a redshirt. That could be a blessing now.

With seniors Isaac Haas and Vincent Edwards, the starting frontcourt spots have been locked down for some time in Painter’s rotation.
