Purdue hoops adds 7-footers from Sweden to the 2022 recruitment class
Purdue will soon add another 7-footer to the basketball list.
The Boilermakers signed 7-foot-2 center William Berg on Wednesday, which officially made him part of the 2022 recruitment class. He had offers from four other programs and chose Purdue over Illinois, Iona, UC-Riverside and Utah State.
Berg joins a Purdue recruitment class that ranks sixth in the B1G and number 26 nationally. Boilermakers has a 4-star bet in the class – 6-foot-3 shooting guard Fletcher Loyer.

Berg was born in Sweden and has no ranking per 247Sports. He will add even more size to Purdue’s roster, which still has 7-foot-4 center Zach Edey.
Head coach Matt Painter has made it a priority to recruit great men of high quality, making Purdue one of the tougher teams in B1G on an annual basis. Previous players to flourish for the Boilermakers include AJ Hammons, Isaac Haas, Matt Haarms, Trevion Williams and others.
Purdue ended the 2021-22 season with a record of 29-8 and a score of 14-6 in B1G. The Boilermakers also reached Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament and were ranked in the top 10 in the Associated Press Poll for the entire season.
