Class of 2015 recruits
Ryan Cline committed to Purdue on June 2, 2014.[5] Cline, an Indiana native, was expected to improve Purdue's 3-point shooting. On his recruitment, Cline said, "From the first visit to (Purdue) when I saw all of their coaches there, it just blew me away," he said. "Getting to know them from that time, I knew they wanted me."[6]
Grant Weatherford was Purdue's last commitment of this class, committing to Purdue on August 2, 2014.[7] On Weatherford's potential impact as a freshman, Coach Painter said, "Well, he’s got to be able to get by some of those guys. Johnny Hill’s got a lot of experience. P.J. Thompson, you know, obviously played some for us last year, and both of those guys have really played well."[8]
