Are you ready to talk a little Vijay Edgecom?

0:01.8

Yeah, let's do it.

0:02.9

I could start with a little bit of his bio and then physical profile.

0:07.5

So Vijay Edgecom, born and raised in the Bahamas, immigrated to the U.S. for high school,

0:13.2

bounced around to a couple different schools, was a five-star recruit, played all the major senior high school things, including the Hoop Summit.

0:19.9

Third to fifth in the class, depending on the service, ended up going to bail her over offers from all the major senior high school things, including the Hoop Summit, third to fifth in the class,

0:21.4

depending on the service, ended up going to bailor over offers from all the big schools.

0:25.1

And interestingly, Edgecom played on the Bahamas national team that was trying to qualify for

0:29.9

the 24 Olympics, was pretty productive in that time with the Big 12 freshman in the year.

0:33.6

And Edgecom, it was interesting.

1:15.8

Yeah.

1:16.1

So Edgecombe is shooting guard size, maybe a slightly smaller wingspan than you might like for that.

1:22.3

8.5 standing reach is maybe a little bit lower.

1:25.2

But there are definitely shooting guards who are his size.

1:29.1

As you continue with this physical profile, outstanding athlete is 38.5 inch max vertical,

1:36.3

which is not unbelievable.

1:38.1

That's usually 40 inches.
