WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue head coach Matt Painter has announced that Myles Colvin has signed his National Letter of Intent to join the Boilermaker program for the 2023-24 season.
Colvin submitted his paperwork this morning and is officially a member of the Purdue basketball program.
"I think our staff has done a very good job of evaluating talent in this state and Myles is another example of that. I feel he is the best player in the state and one of the top-25 players in the country. He has a tremendous upside and is going to be very functional in today's game with his athleticism and skill level," Painter said. "He's going to have a tremendous career at Purdue. He has great positional size and he has really worked on his skill from shooting 3s, making pull-ups and getting to the basket. He has an extremely high ceiling and he is going to only get better."
