Purdue Big Men

So even when Zach Edey is gone. They just got a commitment today from a 7'2 Swedish kid.

Is there a rule that the tallest european/foreign kid every year has to go to Purdue... I kid I kid

I saw recently that Edey committed to Painter/Purdue because he has a track record of developing big men. That must be a factor. I wonder if the new commit has been told Williams and/or Edey will be gone next year, or if he is willing to wait and learn behind them for a season (assuming the Swede will be there next season).

it's not Painter, per se. It's their assistant coach.

I believe IMG has a 7’4 15 year old in its program, same school Eddy went too. I’m sure Painter has his eyes all on him

We actually had a tougher time with Williams. He also bullied his way in within a call. But the Smirk on Edey’s face after clobbering Cliff was troubling.

Olivier Rioux.

He's from too like the kid at Purdue. Rioux is not on the IMG Academy National team last I checked.

He is still very much a work in progress but has a chance. Seems like a worker, has some basketball instincts. Class of 2024 but kids from often reclass up so if he ends up in the 2023 class I won't be surprised.
