Following the 2024-25 college basketball season, four players from Purdue's roster decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal: Camden Heide, Myles Colvin, Brian Waddell, and Will Berg. All four found landing spots following their decision to leave West Lafayette.
How are those four former Boilermakers performing with their new teams? Here are some statistical updates on the ex-Purdue players.

He has been a little inconsistent throughout the year, but has played extremely well in recent weeks for the Longhorns.
