Sunday was a good day if you were a Purdue basketball walk-on. If you were a walk-on on the roster, you likely got the next year of schooling paid for. Both Jon McKeeman and Grady Eifert were awarded scholarships for the 2016-17 season as a thank you for their hard effort:
For McKeeman, he is the old man of the team. He is the lone player that has been on the roster for five years now. He joined the team late in the 2012-13 season and played a single minute against Western Illinois in the CBI. The next year he saw action in five games, scoring five points against Central Connecticut State.
