Last month, the Purdue Boilermakers put out a key offer in the 2023 recruiting cycle. Matt Painter and his staff decided to offer 2023 prospect Xavier Booker.

Booker comes out of Indianapolis, Indiana and is largely unranked by the national recruiting services. However, he’s listed at 6-foot-10 and 205 pounds by 247Sports and seems to be one of the best players in the state of Indiana for the 2023 cycle. Along with Purdue, he also currently has offers from Indiana, Iowa, Louisville, and TCU among others.
Purdue currently has no commitments in its 2023 recruiting class, but that will likely change in the coming months. Fans will hope Booker can be the first piece and continue Purdue’s recent momentum on the recruiting trail after solid success in 2021 and 2022. However, we will have to wait and see as it’s still very much in the air. He currently has no Crystal Ball selections on 247Sports.
