After a 24-12 season and with most of its production returning, Purdue is ranked near the top of ESPN's way-too-early college basketball top-25 for 2025-26.

There are still dozens of impactful players sitting in the transfer portal and dozens more contemplating whether to join them before it closes on April 22. So, whatever your favorite team's projected roster looks like right now, just know that it will change, for better or worse, before the season begins.

Talent plus roster continuity is a winning formula, and no team has a better combination of that at this moment than Purdue.
