2013 HS - Soma Edo - 6'5" SF

[NT03]

link won't work for me, but what is that in, the long jump?

Sorry , looks like they moved the link : Telly

Video isn't the best , but it gives you an idea of what he looks like

Wait wait wait wait wait. This kid is 6'5", and his max vertical reach is 140.5"???? Holy F'ing crap. A guy 6'5" being able to get 20.5" inches above the rim is one of the most insane things I have ever heard. Give him 2 scholarships per year if that's what it takes.

reminds me of that Willoughby cat that used to play for the Rockets!

Remember the HS teammate of Jesse Ratliff that could jump out of the gym? I think his last name was Nunley.

Damn, that kid can get up!

[NT03]

We didn't make his final 7

[NT03]

Fresno St , Marquette , Murray St , Oklahoma , Santa Clara ,Va Tech , WKU

Fresno St , Marquette , Murray St , Oklahoma , Santa Clara ,Va Tech , WKU

He obviously has a thing for goats.

Can't stress this enough. We don't need anybody who doesn't want to play for North Texas. Not making his top list doesn't bother me one bit.

[UNTLifer]

Then tell him to stay close to home where he can be watched by friends.

We might not be totally out of the picture , our coaches had a good in home visit with him today

This would be HUGE

[Cooley]

Saw that NT03. He called it a "great" in home visit

[emmitt01]

You get this guy and Kendall Pollard on board and my pants won't fit the same anymore.

Good to hear!

No. Joke.

Baring Jones leaving for the NBA (he won't), landing Edo and Pollard would fill our 13 allotment...a back court of Jones, Hardwick, Taylor, Alzee and Overlander...Jordan, Norris, Pollard and Edo on the wings...Coleman, Friar, Nunn and Casmino in the post. Damn.

Losing Mitchell will obviously hurt next year, but that potential roster shows that we're building a legit program here, not just a team around a star.

I'm still wondering about the Casimino pick up

I'm still wondering about the Casimino pick up

Does seem like an odd fit with the higher profile recruits Benford has been after as of late.

For those who missed his stats and bio.

I'm still wondering about the Casimino pick up

I think Casimino is one of the better commits. IMO, a lot of you are underrating Brazilian BB, playing on an all star team in Brazil is nothing to dismiss. This player has been playing with Brazils' pro equivalent for years. We will know a lot more as the juco season plays out, but I like this pick up.

Had visit w/ Virgina Tech yesterday

[pastorgrant]

Based on the ballislife video, Edo reminds me of Victor Oladipo. If we pick him up (even if we don't) this team is going to be ridiculously fun to watch.
