CALEB FURST NEWS

Limited to reserve role Furst is averaging 4.8 points and 1.4 rebounds across 10.4 minutes through the first five games of the 2024-25 season for Purdue.

Impact Furst has steadily seen his production decline since his freshman/sophomore seasons at Purdue. He even fell out of the rotation at one point last season, but that can largely be attributed to the heavy minutes played by Wooden Award winner Zach Edey. With Edey out of the picture, it was once thought the 6-10 center would have a chance to expand his role, but so far he's been firmly behind 7-2 sophomore Will Berg on the depth chart. A season-ending injury to Daniel jacobsen (lower leg) could open up more minutes, however, as first did see a season-high in minutes and field-goal attempts in Tuesday's loss to Purdue.

Plays 17 minutes Furst finished with eight points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal across 17 minutes during Saturday's 79-71 loss to Indiana.

Impact Furst did not play much, a trend that continues to be the case regardless of whatever role he serves. During February, he averaged 4.6 points and 4.9 rebounds across seven games. While the Boilermakers continue to operate around center Zach Edey, Furst is not expected to be promising much despite being a starter for one of college basketball's best teams.

Impact Furst hadn't had many big games in 2023 until recording his first double-double in 12 games since the new year. Should he make a habit of this late in the season, Furst would boost the potential of the Boilermakers in more important matchups.

Details offseason foot surgery Furst underwent surgery this offseason to remove "an extra bone in the heel of his foot," according to Brian Hamilton of The Athletic.

Impact This is apparently an issue that Furst dealt with for the entirety of this freshman season with the Boilermakers, even dating back to his days with Team USA's U19 squad the prior summer. Despite the discomfort, the 6-10 forward managed to produce 4.1 points and 3.2 rebounds across 34 games (12 starts). The plan now is to hold Furst out for summer workouts before reintroducing him in the fall. While Mason Gillis remains the likely candidate to start at power forward alongside Zach Edey, Furst still has the potential to make a bigger impact in 2022-23, especially with Trevion Williams no longer with the program.
