GOLD AND BLACK ILLUSTRATED VOLUME 27, ISSUE 5 8
Caleb Swanigan
Boiler Index: Smoking
Projections have Swanigan being selected
in the late-first to early-second round
of the June 22 NBA Draft. The Purdue
sophomore is playing it smart, not hiring
an agent before the May 24 deadline
to decide whether to stay in the
draft or return to school.
Dominique Oden
Boiler Index: Steaming
Oden regularly proved she's belonged
on the big stage late in her freshman
season, as the guard hit big shot
after big shot, first in the Big Ten
Tournament then in the NCAA.
Only a rising sophomore, she
starts transitioning into Purdue
leader.
Mark Wasikowski
Boiler Index: Smoldering
Purdue baseball couldn't have asked
for a much better start, as first-
year coach Mark Wasikowski has
re-energized the program and its
fan base. As of midseason, the
Boilermakers were on pace to
make the Big Ten Tournament,
which they hadn't done since
2012.

Remember When …
Junior receiver Desmond
Tardy showed off his
skills in the 2007 spring
game, catching a couple
of touchdown passes.
The Boilermakers looked
promising after spring drills
and used the momentum to
jump to a 5-0 start in the fall
and their most recent national
ranking.
