Lowell Grissom, a 6'7 forward formerly of Fort Wayne, enrolled over the summer at Verbum Dei, a college preparatory school in Los Angeles, CA. Rumblings are that something could be in the works that might get Grissom back to Indiana and into a Purdue uniform next season. He currently averages in double figures for Verbum Dei, around 10 points, 14 rebounds and two blocks per game.
