44 Days to Purdue Basketball: Isaac Haas

Isaac Haas - Junior

Hokes Bluff, AL

7-2, 280 lbs

Center

2016 Projection: Starting Center

Six days ago, when I wrote the 50 days to Purdue Basketball countdown, I said Caleb Swanigan will be the most important player if Purdue were to make a late run into March. I still believe that to be true, but if Purdue does make that late run, chances are, it will happen with Isaac Haas as Purdue’s best player.

It’s hard to imagine anyone as big as Haas - 7’2” and 280 lbs - having to move out of anyone’s shadow, but that’s just what the giant with soft touch has to do this year.
