Bullitt East star Derek Willis de-committed from Purdue yesterday with an announcement on Facebook.
Troy Barr, who coaches Willis at Bullitt East, said the talented big man would like to visit Louisville and Kentucky.
According to [URL=”http://bleedinggoldandblack.blogspot.com/2011/08/2013-pf-derek-willis-de-commits-from.html”]a Purdue blog[/URL], however, Willis’ father seems to have a different perspective:

I do have reason to believe that Willis will remained committed to Purdue. Del Willis pretty much gave Kentucky Coach John Calipari and Louisville Coach Rick Pitino the verbal one finger salute with the statement,’I don’t know if I can trust a Coach (Rick) Pitino or Coach (John) Calipari. Their agenda is more for their benefit than the kid’s. They’re more worried about themselves.” This is great because we all know of Calipari’s and Pitino’s sparkling track records. Del Willis also reiterated how much of a comfort zone they had with Coach Painter and Coach Owens.
