With the surprising news this morning that Purdue was selected to represent the U.S. in the 2017 World University Games we now have an opportunity to showcase Purdue basketball on a world stage. As the release stated, only Northern Iowa in 2007 and Kansas in 2015 have been selected as an entire collegiate team. With a little over a year to go, however, who can be on the roster?
According to the release, current student athletes and recent graduates born between January 1, 1992 and December 31, 1999 can take part. It will be limited to a 12-man roster as well, so if we have a full compliment 13 scholarship players at least one will be kept home.
