"Looks like Andell Cumberbatch just committed to St.Bona"

 

Isn't that the real name of the Penguin?

 

Seriously though, what do we know about Ede. Everyone said he was a good kid who had motivation issues. I love that we're finally going back to the 5 boroughs to recruit, something I think we lacked in the past.

Any HS info on the kid? stats? where else he was recruited out of HS?

So he wasn't exactly burning it up at the JC level..hmm

At least the people on the Wichata State message board said that. Really can you believe what people on some message board would say...oops, never mind.

Looks like Andell Cumberbatch just committed to St. Bona.

 

A couple of weeks ago his JC coach said:

“Actually, Albany and Evansville are looking at some visits,” Fletchall said. “They’ve got some kids on campus this weekend.

 

If Cumberbatch was "lower on our list" and went to an A10 school that's a good sign for the commitment we did get.

Brown loves stretch 4's...

[Phoenix]

Now that's interesting. 6 newcomers were announced in a release a couple weeks ago..which covered the 4 seniors, Page's transfer and what we assume is Gibson's medical unavailability. This 7th recruit suggests that 1) someone else is leaving, 2) Guzonjic is preping and could actually be 2014 or 3) he's coming without a scholarship in year one to sit out his first year..a la Puk a few years ago. An article I read said he was offered a scholarship..which might decrease the likelihood of option 3?

 

At the very least..this should please some of the fans looking for more 4 years/HS guys.

Ede Egharevba - April 18, 2011

 

IS8/NIKE TOP PERFORMERS (SAT)

 

 

This Saturday, the Jamaica, N.Y. site featured five games with four teams that played two matchups a piece.

Here are the top three performers from Saturday and those that received honorable mention.

1. Shaquille Stokes (MetroHawks)

In two contests that yielded winning results on Saturday, the Abraham Lincoln H.S. (Brooklyn, N.Y.) senior point guard averaged 26 points, netting 18 points in the first contest and 34 points in the second. The dynamic floor general knew how to get his teammates involved in the game. However, when Stokes saw his team failing to get the offense flowing enough to stay competitive, he knew how to turn up the heat against his competition.

In both contests – the two point victory over local rival Raising Champions (61-59) and the overtime win over Pennsylvania squad Mountain B-Ball (83-76) – Stokes was the key factor to winning the game. He became the most active in each second half period when a need to pull away from his team’s opponent was imperative.

2. Osamuede “Ede” Egharevba (Raising Champions)

The last time we saw Egharevba, he needed to hone his raw talent into something smoother and more marketable. However, Egharevba’s game is exactly that now – smooth.

M. Wingate Osamuede Egharevba

The 6-foot-6 forward showed an improved midrange jumpshot, 3-point shooting form and strength off the glass. The former Thomas Edison player, who is now a post-grad at Mack Academy (N.C.), has evolved into a do-it-all guy on the floor from rebounds off the defensive and offensive glass to scoring from the inside-out. These improved qualities in his game were clearly evident on the court on Saturday. His high-intensity play carried over from his years as a player for the PSAL “AA” league, showed against both his squad’s opponents.

Despite the loss, Egharevba had a 24-point performance against MetroHawks. And, in the victory, his 16-point effort in the contest against Mountain B-Ball paced Raising Champions..

It also looks like Wichita State may have stolen one in 6'5

Osamuede "Ede" Egharevba

from Jamaica (Edison) NY via Charlotte (Evelyn Mack) NC. "Egharevba is excellent slashing to basket, can pull up and hit the outside shot, and has almost unlimited untapped potential," says Naclerio. And he's pretty good right now, as Naclerio tells us that Egharevba would be a legitimate First Team All City Player, if he was still in New York and was still a high school senior. Naclerio also backs this up even further when he tells us that Egharevba is a better all-around player and a better athlete than 6'5

Jermaine Sanders

from New York (Rice) NY, who is currently ranked #1 in the city's senior class by Naclerio and #82 nationally in the senior class by the

HOOP SCOOP

. So how does Wichita State get a kid originally from the sidewalks of New York to go to the plains of the Midwest? Our guess is

Devon Smith

, who the Shockers' Director of Player Development and a close confidant of the legendary

Howard Garfinkel

.
