Dartmouth grad transfer Boudreaux, former Xavier commit, chooses Purdue

Jeff Greer updates the latest on the University of Louisville men's basketball coach hire.

Dartmouth graduate transfer Evan Boudreaux, who had committed to Xavier but reopened his recruitment when Chris Mack and part of his staff left for Louisville, has committed to Purdue, he announced via Twitter.

Boudreaux said Purdue reached out immediately after he backed off of that Xavier commitment Tuesday in the wake of coach Chris Mack's departure from Louisville. He confirmed he also considered following Mack to Louisville.

Boudreaux cited his relationships with coach Matt Painter and assistant Greg Gary as factors in Thursday's decision, saying he didn't want to drag the process out.
