The fact that he’s NOT at Purdue tells me all I need to know. Don’t expect much from Rioux
Edey was not thought of much coming out of high school, aside from his height
Yeah, but Painter identified that Edey had movement potential. Rioux has zero of that and is why he’s just a walk on at Florida. Maybe he will figure it out but not everyone can be Edey.
Looks like me schooling my kids on their mini hoop. About the same level of athleticism as me too
