The Wooden Award is presented annually to the most outstanding basketball player in the college game. This has been given out annually since 1977. Throughout the year there are watchlists that come out and GENERALLY the winner of the award will have been on the watchlist as the season progressed.
Yesterday the Wooden folks announced the midseason watchlist and Purdue’s very own ‘Big Maple’ Zach Edey was among the 25 names that received recognition. It’s a big deal for Edey, who I’m not sure if you know this, has only been playing organized basketball for a few years.
