One offer is all he needed.
Fort Wayne South Side sophomore Raphael Davis verbally committed to Matt Painter and the Boilermakers Wednesday evening, according to GoldandBlack.com. Davis joins Robert Vaden as the youngest player ever to commit to Purdue as a high school freshman.
Davis chose Purdue after picking up an offer from the Boilermakers yesterday afternoon on an official visit to West Lafayette. Purdue was the first to offer the 6-5 standout, but Davis also received interest from Indiana, Illinois, Xavier, and other Midwest schools. He had also garnered mail from Florida and UCLA.
Davis, who averaged 16.4 pts., 7.3 rebs., and 6.3 assists as a freshman, earned the offer after an outstanding freshman season for the Archers and impressive performance last weekend at the Run N' Jam tournament in Fort Wayne. He becomes the second South Side standout to commit to Purdue in the last decade, joining Cameron Stephens.
Raphael Davis scouting report:
Davis is a two-guard who can also play off the wing as a three. He's a good shooter, especially from 12-15 feet . Though not quick, Davis is smooth in his movements, and can stride his way past an opponent to the basket, finishing with his body.
Projected four-star.

I am very excited about this pick up. Not only has Painter proved that he can still pull great recruits in Indiana, this athlete is a fort wayne native! The future just keeps looking brighter and brighter for Purdue fans.
