Katie Gearlds said Purdue's goal in 2024-25 is to push the pace and get shots up quickly. She believes the Boilers have the athleticism to play that style.
Purdue coach Katie Gearlds is ready to see her team push the pace during the 2024-25 season. After Saturday's Fan Day scrimmage, she indicated that the Boilermakers are planning to play fast and efficient.
"We'd love it. We'd love it," Gearlds said when asked about playing fast. "Even on makes, just get the ball out and push. If we can get a good quality shot up in about seven or eight seconds, we'd really love it. During the offseason, Purdue brought in four transfers in an effort to get better in every aspect. Ella Collier was a two-time National Player of the Year at the NAIA level at Marian. Destini Lombardi was the WAC Defensive Player of the Year last season at UTEP. Reagan Bass was a three-time All-MAC selection at Toledo.
A few weeks remain until the first game of the season, but if the Fan Day scrimmage provided any indication, Purdue looks ready to go.
