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).

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.
