Greg Gard on Zach Edey: "He's Godzilla. There's no replication of him."

Zach Edey is on track to be the first player to win National Player of the Year honors in back-to-back seasons since Ralph Sampson did at Virginia in the early 1980s.

Purdue's star is a unicorn, one that even the Boilers' competitors know is a special, special talent.

"He's Godzilla; there's no replication of him," Wisconsin's Greg Gard said of the 7'4" Edey on this week's College Hoops Today Podcast. "Look around college basketball...there's no one like him."

Edey is averaging 23.3 points and 11.5 rebounds entering tonight's game against the Michigan Wolverines in West Lafayette.

The Boilers were ranked second in this week's ROTHSTEIN 45, but trail Wisconsin by a half game in the Big Ten standings.
