After game we snuck down to the 100 level & Purdue tunnel area at United Center. Was amazing to see Zach spending probably almost hour signing autographs, taking selfies, signing posters, etc. with Purdue fans. He energetically and politely accommodated everyone, each kid, etc. so rare when he could have been on the floor. They had to find him to remind him cut the net.
He is cherishing the moment and appears to be quite grateful and humbled by these moments.
Later David Jenkins and Gillis came out and were terrific, appreciative, and class. Jenkins made quite the impression; pretty easy to see why Painter likes him - heart and purpose.
Also, got sighting of Eric Hunter Jr at the game in his Purdue gear, and Purdue fans were terrific with him as he was with them.
Say what you want, but we have been blessed with some terrific young men of character and loyalty in the last few years from Rondale, David Bell, Blough, Aidan O'Connell, Ivy, Zach, etc.
