We’ve done it once again folks. We made it to the end of another week. Work is done, for most of us, and now it’s time to relax for a couple days. With no Purdue football game this weekend maybe you can watch some of the other Big Ten football games. Or maybe you’ll attend this weekend’s Feast of the Hunter’s Moon in Tippecanoe County. Or, maybe you’ll just do nothing and that’s okay too.
This week, I wanted to know who the most impactful newcomer would be for the Purdue men’s basketball team in 2026-2027. Not all new players were included and Antione West was included since he was coming out of a redshirt year. Without further ado let’s get to the results. (Well actually, some ado, I don’t make these graphics they are provided to me by the mothership, there’s a typo in this week’s graphic, see if you can spot it!)

The runaway winner is Antione West Jr. with a majority 57%! I thought he might be the winner but certainly not by such a runaway margin. I think Painter comparing him to Patrick Mahomes might have played a role.
