Another 7 footer at Purdue? A tale as old as…. well 14 straight years. Berg joins in the long list of giants that have made their way to Purdue. No, we aren’t chemically engineering people in a lab or grabbing them from outer space (I think) but it’s known that Purdue has become Big Man U. They have a reputation of turning these boys into men, developing them better than any other school and finessing their abilities.
Zach Edey came to Purdue very green. He played hockey (drink!) growing up before switching to basketball his sophomore year. Purdue took a guy who didn’t know much about college ball into a NPOY in 3 years.
