Boiler Banter Podcast: Quinn Costello Commits to Michigan, Ralph Scott Visits Purdue
In this story:
Sometimes, short and sweet is the best way to go on a podcast. This week, Purdue Boilermakers on SI writer Dustin Schutte gets right to the point when talking about some news on the basketball recruiting front on the Boiler Banter Podcast.
This week, four-star forward Quinn Costello announced his commitment to Michigan. The skilled 6-foot-10 forward was a rising star during the summer months and took an official visit to Purdue in late August.
How did Costello's commitment to coach Dusty May and the Wolverines impact the Boilermakers moving forward?
Additionally, Purdue hosted 6-foot-7 small forward Ralph Scott for an official visit on Wednesday, just one week after extending an offer. Everything about his recruitment has moved quickly. Could he have rocketed up to the top of coach Matt Painter's target list for the 2026 recruiting class?
Below is the full, but short, episode of the Boiler Banter Podcast.
