New Texas coach Sean Miller has added another key piece to the Longhorns men's basketball team. Former Purdue forward Camden Heide has committed to the Horns via the transfer portal. Heide initially entered the transfer portal on April 2.
The 6-foot-7 redshirt sophomore averaged 4.7 points and 3.6 rebounds per game while shooting 49.1% from the floor and 39.2% from three-point range this season. Heide had a good game in Purdue’s season-ending loss to Houston in the Sweet Sixteen, scoring nine points and grabbing five rebounds. His season high came in December against Maryland when he went for 15-points.
Heide played high school basketball at Wayzata (MN), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 130 overall player and No. 33 small forward in the 2022 recruiting cycle in the On3 Industry Ranking. Heide is the fourth Purdue player to enter the transfer portal this offseason.
Miller also added Xavier forward Dailyn Swain via the portal this week and both Tramon Mark and Jordan Pope announced they would remain at Texas.
