Purdue big man Emmanuel Dowuona enters the transfer portal.
He didn't suit up at all this season. Reportedly he had "breathing issues" which as fans we all assumed that he had a rough recovery from a COVID infection, but as with anything else, that's all rumor and speculation.
Coming into the year he was expected to be #3 behind Trevion Williams and Matt Haarms, and probably see Zach Edey redshirt. He was a bit of a project, with a lot of athleticism but not quite ready for prime time. Well, the world went to hell, Haarms transferred out, Dow had medical issues, and Edey showed the world that he was ahead of schedule.
So I'm guessing Dow is looking at the depth chart, and realizing that between Tre and Edey that he's not going to get a minute of PT, and with one of the incoming freshmen being a top-40 recruit as a 4/5 tweener, that he's going to get passed over for #3 on the depth chart.
I wish him the best. Dow leaving is probably going to be win-win, in that it will get him into a program where he can get playing time and it'll free up a scholarship for the Boilers.
