Senior Memories - Zach Edey

Zach needs no introduction. We all know his hockey, baseball, IMG and basketball background.

Most rebounds in Purdue history. Potentially top scorer in Purdue history. Highest career PER in NCAA history to name a few. The National and conference awards. One of three players in NCAA history…. So many stats to choose from, win shares, box plus-minus, etc… and he accomplished this despite not playing 20+ min/game until his junior year.

But I’ll always remember him being on the Purdue team that made it to #1 ranking for the first time, and Purdue’s run of being ranked in the top 5 consecutively.

I met and had an interaction with him November of his freshman year in the halls of Mackey. He had to duck his head to get through a door frame. Told him I’m surprised Purdue hasn’t swapped to bigger doors, he laughed. Told him he’s the best center in America (I didn’t believe it but wanted to show confidence) and he said thanks.

The viral Edey hulk gif when he dunks. The 3 against IU. The Minnesota flying dunk. The FT shooting. The blocks. The offensive rebounds. The consistency.

The 100+ Purdue wins over 4 years. Lots of fun to be a Boilermaker fan.

What’s some of your favorite moments or memories?

Please tell me that Purdue students aren't....

involved in these silly pro-Hamas protests and camping.

Did I read correctly that at USC, these protesters were preventing students from walking across campus and were requiring them to register and wear a mask?

Gosh, I wish I was a student on that campus trying to get to class and these scarf wearing pansies would have tried to stop me. Skull cracking time.

What should the penalty be for faking racism?

This is pretty vile?
