Purdue commit, Patrick Bade.

Patrick Bade, a 6'8, 225 lb power forward from Franklin Central High School in Indianapolis, IN., will attend Purdue University this fall to play basketball. This big strong lefty was a football tight end until he decided to concentrate on basketball. Bade is a good athlete that can score on either block with jump hooks with his left or right hand, but prefers to finish over his right shoulder. He can face up off the post and the pick and pop game is his bread and butter. Also, he likes to attack off the dribble and he has range beyond the arc with time and space.
