Welcome to the Boilermaker Lounge!
Sam and Grant, the All-American, bring you all sorts of topics in the world of Purdue basketball!
They will also bring in former Boilermakers to talk about their time in West Lafayette and what they are doing now!
So, come into the Lounge twice a week during the season, have a seat, and enjoy the Boilermaker Lounge!
Sam & Dustin Schutte were at it in Rosemont, IL, for basketball Media Days! Even with people running all over the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, the guys were able to sit down and have some great conversations.
CJ Cox & Daniel Jacobsen
They joined the show to talk about the team, their development, and how they’ve taken on new roles this season.
Mike DeCourcy
A wide‑ranging conversation covering the beginnings of bracketology, Purdue’s place in the national picture, and some memorable NCAA Tournament snubs.
Robbie Hummel
It’s audio‑only, but Sam caught up with the former Boilermaker great to talk about staying objective, his passion for Purdue, this year’s team, and Coach Painter.
It was a fantastic Media Day. ENJOY!
And yes — we will have a regularly scheduled Thursday show this week, as well!

Media Days Approach, Preseason Honors Released & More
Sam & Grant, the All‑American, are back! It’s Media Days week, and Sam is in Rosemont covering the event. They’re breaking down which Boilermakers are representing the “new‑look” Purdue squad — with CJ Cox and Daniel Jacobsen making the trip. The guys dig into whether there’s anything behind the choice of those two players and what it might signal about the program’s direction.
They’ll also dive into the construction of this season’s roster and ask the big question: could this team actually be better than the past couple of seasons?
The preseason awards and All‑B1G teams dropped this week, and for the first time since 2014–15, not a single Purdue player appears anywhere. Does that open the door for a few Boilermakers to come out of nowhere and crash the postseason awards conversation?
It’s a great show — and be on the lookout for a special Friday Media Days Edition this week. ENJOY!
