Five-Star Center Commits to Purdue
Hill averaged 12.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 4.3 blocks per game last season as Purdue added its highest-rated recruit in program history.
- On Friday, 7-foot center Isaiah Hill announced his commitment to Purdue. The Pike High School standout is a five-star prospect in the 2027 recruiting class and the highest-rated recruit in program history.
- Coach Matt Painter prioritized Hill since August 2024, securing the commitment over offers from Indiana, Notre Dame, Louisville, and Kentucky. The Indianapolis prospect is the fifth top-ranked Indiana player to join the program since 2005.
- Hill, coached by former NBA player and Pike graduate Jeff Teague, averaged 12.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 4.3 blocks per game during his junior season. He ranks as the 14th-highest recruit nationally according to 247 Sports.
- Purdue has now secured the top-ranked in-state recruit in each of the last two cycles, joining 2026 point guard Luke Ertel. This momentum reflects the program's success attracting elite Indiana talent.
- Hill will join 7-footers Daniel Jacobsen and Sinan Huan on Purdue's 2027-28 roster, creating a loaded frontcourt. This addition aligns with the program's history of signing five-star prospects like former Boilermaker Caleb Swanigan in 2015.
