Who is Ryan Edwards?


In a recent article with Yahoo! Sports his coach, Mark Harkins, provided some insight into Ryan Edwards game:
"When I talked to the coaches who recruited him, what they see in Ryan is that he has incredible feet and incredible hands for someone his size, He has great touch on the ball. He can shoot the high school 3-point shot with a lot of accuracy. Then he has really begun to develop his low-post game. He's a true center with his back-to-the-basket."
 The article goes on to say:
 "Edwards intends to drop another 20 pounds this summer by ramping up his conditioning, improving his diet and spending more time in the weight room. He's hopeful that will pay off when he tries to lead Glacier High to a state title next season and when he arrives at Gonzaga the following summer."
Im sure most everyone has tempered their expectations on Ryan, but if the staffs enthusiasm is any indication of the talent level of this kid, perhaps we got a hidden gem. Yet again it seems the staff will go the extra mile to ensure we continue to find the talent necessary to thrive and make that all important deep run into the tourney.  As always, GO ZAGS!
