GOLD AND BLACK ILLUSTRATED VOLUME 28, ISSUE 2 57 EDEN EWING Junior • Forward Breakdown: One of the highest-re- garded junior college prospects in the coun- try last season, the 6-8, 215-pound power forward was Purdue's most explosive leap- er and one of its two or three best athletes the moment he set foot on campus in July, a month later than his fellow newcomers. His athleticism and energy are pluses, but his effort will have to be at a level where their value is maxed out and he'll need to ac- climate to Purdue's structure. Prospectus: Ewing's role remains to be seen. The forward-position minutes were largely spoken for post- World University Games, where Ewing wasn't part of the primary rotation, though back then he'd only been part of the team for a little more than a month. Ewing did serve as Purdue's No. 3 center in Taipei with Haarms out and in preseason practice with Taylor sidelined. That's not ideal. TOMMY LUCE Sophomore • Guard Breakdown: The 5-10, 150-pound sophomore walk-on logged 25 minutes over 15 appearances as a freshman last season, all of it in the final minutes of one-sided af- fairs. He's become something of a fan favor- ite in Mackey Arena, where crowds typically urge him to shoot every time he touches it. Prospectus: Luce's opportunities to contribute at this stage of his career are limited to the practice floor, but he will continue to see mop-up minutes when Purdue's ei- ther winning — or losing — big.
