So, the internet is ABLAZE with rumors that Purdue's basketball program is going to get its first McDonald's All American player since Mike Robinson. 5-star PF/C Caleb Swanigan has done an about face on his verbal commitment to ~~Big Head~~ Coach Izzo and MSU. Sources, from national outlets down to our beloved pals from Gold and Black believe Matty's first McDs AA is nearly a done deal.

Let's rah rah for a moment...

MR. SWANIGAN...BIGGIE...CALEB-

YOU'D LOOK GREAT IN GOLD AND BLACK...WEST LA LA IS WHERE YOU NEED TO BE FOR THE NEXT YEAR OR SO OF YOUR LIFE!! TRAINING ALONG SIDE OF TWO OF THE BEST CENTERS IN THE NATION WILL ONLY HELP...AND PLAYING WITH THESE GUYS WILL MAKE YOU, AND OUR BOILERS A NATIONAL STORY, A CONTENDER FOR THE B1G CHAMPIONSHIP...AND DARE I SAY IT...A HIGHLY-RANKED, NATIONALLY-RELEVENT PROGRAM!!!

WooHoo!

Now let's get sober.

Believe nothing until he's signed, friends. Some of you have already burned this bridge anyway...if you're walking on the cinders of a Twitter torch campaign, slow your roll again. If you never believed he would be a Boiler, join the club...

But aren't our Boilers due?!?

Entitlement breeds nothing but bitterness...stay cool, everybody.

Stay tuned.
