Zach Edey's Path to the Hardwood | Purdue Basketball | The Journey 

What a wonderful story of a young man finding out more and more about himself and his journey to become an even better human being! Good luck on your journey Zach!!

Zach’s mom was actually a really good basketball player, just never really got a chance to showcase her talent. Her parents owned a Chinese takeout (no wonder she’s such a good cook), didn’t have a lot of money, knew nothing about sports and never came to her games, and expected her to study first (she’s an engineer) and work in the restaurant second. Despite that, she still got scouted for the Canadian National team

He’s a joy to watch. Fan from Massachusetts

Zach’s Mom is so cool.

wholesome as. Rooting for the kid and his family

He is a beast. Absolutely, he’s not just tall. He’s a terrific athlete and driven. That’s what sets him apart.

Kansas fan here and I watched my first Purdue highlights...this guy scares me. He's absolutely dominant. Hopefully someone knocks them off (miracle I know) before KU has to face them.

SO to Zach's mom; as much as I love Zach she really steals the show here.

Incredible!

Im a big fan of his. Im taking my son and grandson to east lansing on mlk day to see him. I feel like I know him and his family better now

He totally made right choice going to Purdue. Matt Painter develops big men and Zach has been the best one

Future Raptor 🤙🏾

an incredible young man...a pleasure watching this cat on the court!!!

Boiler Up!

I hope Zach's dreams come true this year. NPOY and National Champion. If not "The Journey" has been great. He and is mom are fantastic people and he's on a team of great guys. Purdue does it right. Boiler up! Beat IU, Win the Big Ten, and take the NCAA Tournament by storm.

So glad he chose Purdue. I am also a Huge fan off the Drew coaching family but I think Matt Painter was the perfect development coach for Zach & no better environment than Purdue University. Perfect fit. Hope Purdue goes far this yr--maybe wins it all...and Zach has a great pro career !! And what a total class act his mom is !

I pray for the team. Yes, Edey is the Center of the team, but it will take the entire team to continue winning. That is what was missing last year, the team effort! Guard play is so important. Purdue has those elements this year and in fact we have seen those elements shine in the first few games. I hope that shine doesn't fade as the season progresses. Every team they play will be at their best. That's just the way others play. They all play to the challenge. Coach Painter has to play to that same challenge as well, being able to adjust during each game, calling time outs when needed, etc. This can be your year and it will be if you ALL work hard, play hard and have fun together. God Bless you all. Now Boiler Up!

Kid is leveled headed and grounded Great parents

Awesome mom. Good job on raising a fine young man 👍

He taking them to the final four this year

I would draft him #1 overall, can’t teach height. Crazy how much he looks like Yao Ming

Yao ming son

future toronto raptor

the guy is a modern patrick ewing he's that dominant

I want this kid on Denver Nuggets backing up Jokic..last year at this time I wanted Christian Braun on Nuggets and got my wish.. now hook up Edey with Nuggets and backing up the Soon to be 3 time MVP

Next big Steven Adams

Most guys this big tend to be lumbering sloppy mistake waiting to happen oafs....but this is not that. This guy is pretty athletic.

He was and is no "consolation" prize, Zach was the better prize for Purdue, he's better defensively than Dickinson (Michigan) (and no knock against Dickinson either)

Just want to point out that they're Euchre

come out of nowhare its the way the elgin baylors of yesterday have come out of nowhare no hype no nothing and he will be a great nba player

Respect the Purdue's *China-Man* Canadian~

He's is just tall.

Awesome mom.
