I hope like hell that this kid comes here and dominates, but the odds are against him. Averaged less than 25 mins a game last year.


Yeah

A friend saw him play the exhibition game vs Purdue in November and said he struggled quite a bit with Purdue’s length and perimeter pressure. He hit a 3 pointer on the first possession and then did very little over the next 25+ minutes missing a lot of shots and had just a couple rebounds. One game sample etc so maybe just a poor shooting night against a top ranked team with a top 10 defense so maybe he’d do well in the ACC. Certainly can’t hurt to add the kid but Purdue won by nearly 50 and Edey scored about 20 while only playing like 15 minutes.

He is visiting some other power 5 programs too as what seems to be thought of as a backup type big role so maybe he’d be able to give 10-12 minutes a game.
