Edgecombe is On3’s No. 5 player in 2024. He officially visited Baylor in October.https://t.co/8TE17icuyD pic.twitter.com/c9VcnyzFPf
A few months back, when I first watched this kid, I didn't say what I thought: he might be a better player in the Baylor system than the other guy--likes to play d, doesn't need the ball in his hands all the time, a smooth as glass outside shot. Can see why Drew is chasing him.DanaDane said:
I think we must have a legit shot, and that's why Drew and his entire staff are there.
It was pretty much thought it was a given he was signing with Duke after he attended Midnight Madness. Most of the insiders said he wanted to visit St. Johns but it was basically 95% Duke, 5% St. Johns and no one else had a shot. Well, he didn't do what the recruiting experts thought and after his St. John's visit he suddenly made a visit to Kentucky. The recruiting experts thought Calipari and Kentucky must have suprisingly bought him through NIL, but once again they were shocked as he didn't commit or sign there. Weeks have gone by and no commitment to anyone and the talk about Duke has become less and less.

Drew has never shied away from going after the great guards. Remember when he pursued John Wall when we hadn't won an NCAA tournament game in 55 years.
That's what I remember. We hired him and still didn't get Wall. It's an old Kansas trick but didn't work out so well for us.Noghri said:TWD 1974 said:A few months back, when I first watched this kid, I didn't say what I thought: he might be a better player in the Baylor system than the other guy--likes to play d, doesn't need the ball in his hands all the time, a smooth as glass outside shot.

Pursuit of John Wall included hiring one of his coaches/advisors, right?
Yeah, if I remember, the guy sold Baylor on his desire to get into college coaching, then became Miller's agent when he declared. We did land Deuce Bello and possibly Miller with his help tho. Miller could have been a really good college player if he had stayed another 2 years...BearFan33 said:That's what I remember. We hired him and still didn't get Wall.
