i don't know what Edwards will become and I'm not sure he'll get the chance to do whatever that is on the Hill (depending on how good the guys coming behind him are). But I'm surprised people are down on him in general. Kid put up a 10 and 5 vs. Bucknell in 14 minutes, had 7 in 7 minutes against Ga Tech and 7 in 8 minutes against Louisville. (Bourama scored 7+ in 10 games total with roughly 5.5x as many minutes.)

Obviously this doesn't make him the next Fab or Rak, but he certainly flashed some decent offensive skills. The strength is an issue as is his general need for development, but I would actually think he's the favorite as of now to replace Sidibe next season. People (myself included) tend to under-estimate just how much better a big can look between his first and second year (Fab, obviously the rare but still relevant example given how atrocious he looked as a frosh) or even later in their careers (Rak was a completely different player as a senior; Chuckwu was significantly better in his fourth year than in his third.

So I don't know how it plays out but I don't think there's any reason to rush to sell your jesse edwards stock.
