Is this birdlike fellow the key to Purdue's successes?

It's a long way from college basketball season, and frankly, I'm not optimistic about college football season for Purdue, so any optimism about the basketball season is welcome. Andy Katz, basketball writer of ESPN asserts that if Robbie Hummel, the pictured kid who looks somewhat like an emu, could be the ticket to the Final Four if healthy. It's things like this that make love the internet. I'm excited about basketball in August.
