There’s a sports story being made here. Grady Eifert, a famous athlete’s last name, a legacy name, came to Purdue humbly, a walk-on, playing only in blow-outs his first two seasons, and will leave the team after next season as someone that has filled in for Vincent Edwards in the starting line up and played big minutes in NCAA tournament games. Vital minutes. If it weren’t for a couple huge rebounds and defensive plays against Butler, Purdue might not even have made it to Boston and their second straight Sweet Sixteen.
But that made for TV special is a script for another day.
