Big man picking up steam
As teams race to fill out their recruiting classes in the spring, there always seems to be a lot of reaching on prospects. At the same time, there always seem to be a few guys who prove to be true sleeper prospects. The more Rivals.com learns about Westland (Mich.) John Glenn's senior big man Mike Edwards, the more we feel he could be in that sleeper category.
Edwards has all of the signs of a true late bloomer. As a junior, he only averaged four points per game, but as a senior he has been over 20 points and 10 rebounds per outing, so the increased production is there. But there's more than that.
Standing 6-foot-10, Edwards is a good athlete with a great frame to build on. He has good hands, runs the floor, can put the ball on the floor a bit and his overall instincts look good. He needs more strength and polish with his footwork around the rim, but the tools to earn a high-major scholarship are all there and not surprisingly the high-major attention has come.
In the past few weeks, Michigan after the Wolverines watched him earlier in the week.
