Talkin' Hoops with Rapheal Davis

Tuesday's episode of Boiler Up started as something fun and different. Over on Locker Room, a number of the hosts from across the Field of 68 spectrum joined to discuss what was a loaded Tuesday night slate of college hoops. But the conversation turned bigger picture, as Rapheal Davis, Shammond Williams, Jeff Goodman and Rob Dauster had a spirited and impassioned discussion about the state of college basketball and the ways that the program limits players.

Like Rapheal Davis, Chris Kramer was a quintessential Purdue player, a team-first defensive menace that did whatever it took to win, including sacrificing his own numbers. They got together this week to talk through their time in West Lafayette, the perception people had of them as players and why they played the way they did.

On today's episode of Boiler Up with Rapheal Davis, Grady Eifert joins the show to talk through his career in West Lafayette. Why did he decide to walk-on? How did he end up playing hoops in a football family? Remember the shot he hit against Ohio State? What did Carsen Edwards teach him after that shot? All that, and much more.
