Caleb Swanigan's Commitment Makes Purdue Viable Big Ten Threat in 2015-16

Caleb Swanigan's recruitment is over. Two weeks after decommitting from Michigan State, the 5-star center and reigning Mr. Basketball of Indiana flipped to in-state Purdue. 

Swanigan was also considering Cal and Kentucky, the other two of his original final four. Purdue was far and away considered the favorite, with Dan Dakich reporting within hours of Swanigan's decommitment that the deal was "done."

Analysis of the machinations behind that decision will likely carry over well into next season. 

From an objective perspective, Swanigan's decision to pick Purdue over Michigan State is curious at best.
