Edgecombe might be the most athletic player we've ever had at Baylor. And I don't say that lightly.
Terry Black would have something to say about that. But those two top a very short list.
Quincy Acy I would put in their category. But I give the edge to Edge over all of them. He is still only a freshman and is playing at the level of athleticism as a 19 year old freshman those guys had as 22 and 23 year old seniors. As he adds that natural man strength in the coming years he will be an athletic phenom even relative to NBA athleticism.
