Myles Colvin and Camden Heide Have Found Their New Homes

The transfer portal giveth and the transfer portal taketh. Unfortunately, over the past week, Purdue has learned it will lose two high-flying wings in Myles Colvin and Camden Heide.

Myles Colvin

It was first announced that Myles Colvin entered the transfer portal on Monday, March 31st, 3 days following Purdue’s loss to Houston in the Sweet Sixteen.

Myles, and upcoming junior, was stuck in a bench role in Purdue’s offensive scheme where he was mostly utilized as a spot up shooter on offense. Myles was 7th in the Purdue rotation by minutes per game (17.8) and he averaged 5.4 points and 2.6 rebounds while shooting 31.3% from 3 on 131 attempts. Where Myles really developed well was the defensive side of the ball. His ability to stay in front of someone with the ball with his athletic ability was a nice development. At the end of the season, his hard work showed in an increase of minutes as he averaged 22.3 minutes in Purdue’s 3 NCAA Tournament contests. Myles would average 6.3 points and 3 rebounds for those 3 games while putting up one of the best dunks of the tournament.

Today it was announced that Myles will be exchanging his old gold and black uniform for another gold and black as he will transfer to Wake Forest. This will give Myles a fresh start in North Carolina and the chance to apply his entire skillset, potentially as a starter.

Camden Heide

3 days following Myles’ entering the transfer portal, Camden Heide also announced he was entering on April 2nd.

Cam, much like Myles, was limited in his offensive role and was primarily utilized as a spot up shooter with excellent hops. Throughout a large portion of the season, Cam really struggled with his shooting, hitting only 3 3’s in a 2-month stretch. In postseason play, Cam would come roaring back, hitting 10 of 16 from deep across 5 games in the Big Ten and NCAA Tournaments, including a game tying 3 with under a minute left against Houston. Cam’s other major impact on the floor was rebounding the basketball. Huge outings against UCLA, USC, and High Point (9, 11, and 10, respectively) directly helped the Boilermakers win games. On the season as a whole, Cam was actually 4th in the Purdue rotation in terms of minutes per game at 19.7, and often was the first alternate for Caleb Furst, sliding Trey Kaufman-Renn to a 5. Cam averaged 4.7 points and 3.6 assists on the year while shooting 39.2% from deep on 79 attempts. Although not from this season, you may also remember Cam’s epic dunk from last year’s National Championship game.

With the scope of Purdue’s roster next season, a starting role was not guaranteed, and Cam sought a transfer. It took two days for him to find a new home as he will transfer to Texas.

We will certainly miss Myles and Cam and wish them nothing but the best in their new spots. And as a last sendoff, here are the dunks both guys made about 3 and a half minutes apart back in January.
