Former Purdue player, Jonathan Uchendu, was killed in a hit-and-run accident. He was 22. Thoughts go out to his family. http://www.jconline.com/article/20091101/NEWS0901/91101013 |

Yeah, kid didn't play a ton, prolly why he transfered, but i saw him live many times, seemed like a good kid. Always a tragedy to be gone at 22. |

Horrible loss. I believe that he got two underage drinking violations while at Purdue and was kicked off the team. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

I explained why he left the program. Its a sad story, hence the "Horrible loss" part. |

I don't really remember, but I thought him an Lutz just decided to transfer around the same time, maybe i'm wrong. |

I do know that he got one suspension during the season for drinking. I've heard several rumors as to why he left, but none were ever substantiated. Always sad to hear this. |
