Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1420802, member: 40"] Awfull comparison on multiple levels. First, Michael Edwards was who we had to settle for after losing out on Kenny Anderson, who we were all in for, as well as several plan B candidates [including Shawn Golden, who ended up at South Carolina]. Edwards was reasonably highly rated, but he was a "settle." By way of comparison, Kaleb Joseph was the top guy the staff identified, and they turned down two other candidates who were willing to commit here in order to land Joseph. He's their guy. Second, lots of factual inaccuracies in your assessment of what happened with Edwards. Edwards [my least favorite all time SU player, BTW] came in as a frosh and didn't start. Stevie Thompson and Billy Owens--the previous year's starting fowards--were the 89-90 team's starting backcourt, at least initially. When Stevie proved incapable of running the team, Edwards was shifted into the starting lineup, not the other way around. [/QUOTE]
