Johnny Hill Transfers to Purdue

Johnny Hill has committed to play basketball for Matt Painter and the Purdue Boilermakers.  The 6' 3", 180-pound point guard is a 5th-year graduate transfer from UT-Arlington and will be eligible to play immediately.  Hill played previously for Illinois State for two years before transferring to UT-Arlington after the 2012-2013 season.

Hill averaged 10.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.6 assists last season for Texas-Arlington.  He also averaged 3.1 turnovers per game, but I would expect that number to drastically decline in West Lafayette.  His turnover rate increased when he transferred to UT-Arlington, largely due to their high-octane offense which was rated by Kenpom as the 8th highest-tempo offense in the nation last season.
