This feels late. Edgecombe really blew up a couple of months ago and already has a strong, strong list. We shall see.

This one was easy to see if you are following Adam Howard. He’s been retweeting Edgecombe related stuff for a bit. And yeah you are correct, Edgecombe is blowing up.

Doesn't bother me anymore.  Now if he'd have referred to us as University of Indiana State or State University of Indiana, I'd be upset.

Edgecombe led the Crusaders on a historic 22-game winning streak, averaging a league-best 17.3 points to go along with 5.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.3 blocks a game.

Edgecombe will be playing AAU for Southeast Elite on the 3SSB circuit.  Teammates will be 2 other IU offerees '25 Mikel Brown and '25 Caleb Wilson if they both opt to play 17U. 

 

Edited April 13, 2023 by Class of '66 Old Fart
Caleb Wilson not Caleb Williams

Is there a ‘25 Caleb Williams I’m forgetting about or is ‘24 Caleb Williams leaving Team Takeover? That would be a pretty surprising move if true.

Eh, a lot of schools are 'University of' so I get the mistake.  There are worse things to be called, like Purdue.

Upon further review, it should have read '25 Caleb Wilson as Southeast Elite is the team he played on last year.  I made a correction in the original post.  Good catch.  Thanks.

That would be a really fun team to watch.

Edgecombe’s reaction to the Indiana offer was one of relief.

“It was great man, that’s definitely one of the ones I’ve been waiting on.” Edgecombe told HoosierIllustrated.com. “It’s a great program for sure. Great coach overall, love his (Mike Woodson) coaching style and he seems like a great person off the court also.”

NOTE:  Next season, Edgecombe will have a new higbh school teammate by the name of Kiyan Anthony.

Rivals and prospects on the brink of 5-star ranking.

Edgecombe has staged a hostile takeover for the last seven months that included being named Player of the Year in by far the country’s most grueling high school basketball league (NIBC), averaging 17.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.5 assists a game for Long Island (N.Y.) Lutheran, and now he’s emerging as one of the top players in the adidas 3SSB.

He is a special blend of speed, quickness, length, three-level scoring ability and energy. Good luck finding a more intense competitor on any circuit.

That is quite an accomplishment. There are grown-@$$ men, actual pros, playing at that event.

I just posted player stats in the 2023 AAU thread.
