Purdue freshman forward Scott Martin has made it official that he will transfer to Notre Dame next season. While starting eight games, Martin averaged 8.5 PPG, 3.8 RPG and 1.4 APG for the 25-9 Boilermakers. Martin is transferring from a Purdue team that lost in the second round of the tournament to Xavier and will be a preseason top ten, possibly a top five, ranked team for next year. Martin was one of many successful freshman at Purdue last season so his loss shouldn't hurt their preseason rank. He stated that he decided to transfer because he needed something different. Martin chose Notre Dame over Butler and Valparaiso. As for Notre Dame, they are a definite top five team next year and the addition of Martin gives them a bright future for the next two seasons. Martin is the second player to transfer to Notre Dame this offseason, the other being Ben Hansbrough from Mississippi State. Both will have to sit out next season and will play for the first time for Notre Dame in 2009.
