Updates on Purdue Basketball's Four Players Who Transferred Out
In this story:
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.
Camden Heide, Texas (junior)
Heide has been in a bit of a slump over the last four games, going scoreless twice and totaling just 14 points across the last four contests. This came immediately after averaging 14 points per game over a three-game stretch from Jan. 28 through Feb. 3. The good news? Texas has won six of its last eight games, putting itself in position to make the NCAA Tournament field.

He helped Wake Forest rattle off three straight wins over Georgia Tech, Stanford and Clemson before falling to Virginia Tech on Saturday.

Brian Waddell, Bellarmine (senior)
Bellarmine has lost its last four games, but Waddell has performed at a high level in that stretch. He is coming off arguably his best performance of the year on Saturday, finishing a game against Lipscomb with 23 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals. Waddell has scored in double figures 22 times this season and is statistically the most efficient shooter on the Knights' roster.
