Five-Star Plus+ SG VJ Edgecombe breaks Down His Visits and Updates His Recruitment

On3's Jamie Shaw caught up with Five-Star Plus+ shooting guard VJ Edgecombe to talk visits and update his recruitment.

Some real positive stuff here. Talks most about the cats and Jack has a feeling we lead. We be sweet to pluck him from dook. The dook mods have considered him a shoe in for a while . They have played like trash. Their fans will have a serious meltdown if he commits here. True changing of the guards if we get him.

Duke is hard to watch. Going back to bring in high rated white guys.

Edgecombe is my favorite player in this class. I hope we land him.
He, Sheppard, and Fland would give us a dynamic backcourt for a second straight year.

 

[TheDude73]

Yeah but no updates on Z?

I'll be honest, I at least expected some kind of update from UK on Z given we are now ~2 weeks beyond that supposed 45-day "goal" the NCAA has to complete reviews.

And they got UCLA's guy cleared in 31 days...isn't that interesting....

That would be great, I’ve always mentally accepted that Sheppard is gone after this year though

I'd settle for at least knowing what is actually being looked at. Last time I asked here, nobody even knows the basic details of the holdup. Freaking weird situation.

Just shows how hard it is to get young talent to play well. It’s not easy. Not trying to give Cal excuses as we shouldn’t lose at the rate he has but other schools have issues too. Older teams are making the talent level spread out now. The portal is helping even smaller schools be competitive.

I’m at the point where I don’t even think he plays, the longer it drags the further behind he gets.

Ain't happening, brother.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

You think he comes back? That would be great if he does, I guess with the insane amount of NIL he could earn it would make a lot of sense

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I actually do think he comes back to lead the team as the starting point guard. He'll play 35 minutes a game, probably lead the SEC in assists, win SEC player of the year, and become a lottery pick.

No, it is uk and their ad that lacks in that area.

Think he is back so mom and dad can watch him play. Seems like a pretty tight family

I’m all for it. Him fland and VJ might be better than this years backcourt, they would just need to find a shooter close to what reeves is

Minimum 3 years

I’d be willing to bet if you ran analysis of Duke targets it’d show they have a bias towards white players when all other factors are equal.

Perry can shoot better than Reeves.

That would be great, I’ll believe it when I see it hough. I personally hope he leads us to a title this year and it won’t matter as much.

Idk about that. Wagner/him/dilly are pretty nasty. If they are though watch out.

Agree 100%! We don't even know whom to be angry at!

Did UCLA’ s Man enroll in August/September time frame or was it in mid October? I have to wonder if that is the problem?

It was the same time.

I think guaranteed $20 million with a couple year jumpstart on an extra $30 million a year trumps watching your son play in college.

Don't undersell whats happening at each program. Aside from the loss last week, Kentucky has been running a much more fluid and NBA-like offense these days. Recruits love this. It helps them take the next step to the NBA, and it was probably the one thing that was holding up Cal on the recruiting trail.

Duke on the other hand, no more Coach K. 3 losses. They're spiraling. Coach Scheyer is causing some unease for Dukes future. Their recruiting class already has a few combo guards and SFs, plus, their current class for 2023, hasn't shown anything, and they will likely be returning (or transferring).

Kentucky is going to have a lot of minutes and touches next year for VJ. All our commitments are either guards or bigs, and we're certainly going to lose Justin Edwards this year.

VJ has a lot of Ant Edwards to him.

One thing I am excited for is making more 3’s and showing how talent can look here again. That will help as you said.
