What kills me too is how can our big guys not put on any weight or hardly muscle in 2-3 years they've been here. Not sure if you saw the picture of the kid Mason from Baylor between last year and this year. The dude was jacked this year compared to last year.

Chukwu didn't gain weight or get stronger, and neither did Marek, Oshae or Sidibe. Jesse and Marek at the five will get eaten alive. The best predictor of the future is the past... zero development from our guys strength and weight wise, why would Jesse be any different? I don't buy it. We're offering him because there's not much left IMO.

You would think we may want to look at our S and C team and see why guys aren't getting stronger.

He is in Atlanta as we speak according to his IG so obviously they have interest and hes visiting for a reason. I know it hasnt been reported from anyone other then cuse media but there isnt much to go on with this kid period. Way way under the radar recruitment from him not being in the states very long.

Regardless of who it is, they didn't earn their paycheck. And precisely why I don't want Jesse. If I was the s/c coach I'd be posting pics of Marek side by side the other guys he will need to guard next season in his locker so he can see what he looks like and the amount of work needed to be done. I'd do the same for Oshae and Sidibe too. Challenge them to bulk up, and do the work. I'm 30 years older and I could keep Marek off the boards.

I don't believe it was but I could be wrong.
Lol, maybe you should be the S and C coach.

Email him and ask him why he can't get no meat on our boys, especially the bigs.Β No doubt that JB and Wildhack should be questioning him. The fact of the matter is that Jesse (and Marek for that matter) are not strong or athletic enough to be GOOD ACC caliber players. We never offer a guy like Jesse early in the recruiting cycle because we're trying to land better. Take note at who has been offered in 2020 as of right now, and who we actually land. We offer guys like Marek and Jesse when we've exhausted our chances with the big boys. And how convenient to always recruit an off the grid guy or a Euro late in the cycle. That way no one can criticize JB and company because we don't know enough or have enough film to scrutinize. I call bull shit. Jesse is a plan Q type player, who might be worth a flyer on if he was a lot stronger, not such a beanpole, and we didn't despararely need BEEF in the interior. I agree we need to recruit differently and place more focus on offensive skill set. That said, they also need to be strong. Marek and Jesse guarding Marvin Bagley or Deandre Ayton... please. So if Sky is right, and Jesse is in Atlanta now, I truly hope he loves it there because I'm sick of watching UNC, Duke and others box us out with one hand tied behind their back. Jesse is not a center and he sure as shit isn't a power forward in the ACC... maybe in the Big Sky with his brother Kai he'd fare ok. HARD PASS.

You're drinking the Koolaid if you think this guy is worthy of a scholarship. Absolutely a joke of an offer. I can only pray he likes Ga Tech better.

I didnt say he was worthy of anything or not worthy of anything. I dont know enough about Jesse Edwards to make that determination and if you do then you need to become a NBA talent evaluator immediately. Theres virtually nothing to go off of with this kid while here in the states and when he was home. If you can tell all of that by the 2 short videos of him playing then ur pretty dang good. Either way it will be interesting to see how this plays out. I could care less either way at this point. We need a 5 but I'm not gunna get worked up about it until recruiting season is almost over and the roster shakes out.

Don't think Jazz was directing at that you individual but anyone who thinks this kid is the answer. I agree with you it's hard to tell how this kid is based on just a few videos. If he's another Marek that maybe gets stronger and develops better than sign me up but with this staff it's hard to get a good vibe with this.

I do think my statistics speak for themselves on roster size/weight. Jesse, Marek and JBA will be unable to guard the elite teams down low. What this means is that we will continue to be mired in mediocrity. We'll fair ok with teams that lack physicality, but against the real top teams we will continue to struggle. I want to return to being elite. I honestly don't see us winning 15 games next year. I'm tired of being outmuscled. UNC, Duke etc can box us out with one hand tied behind their backs.
