Westland John Glenn senior Michael Edwards is one of the most coveted prospects in Michigan currently. The 6’8″ Edwards currently has offers from U of D Mercy, Eastern Michigan, Ball State, Akron, and UC-Davis just to name a few. However, several High Major programs such as Michigan and Iowa State have all been at John Glenn open gyms this year. Even with the constant attention of schools and recruiters, Edwards is enjoying the process and knows he is blessed with the opportunity.
“It feels great!” Edwards had to say of the attention. “I love it alot, and now I get to make a right decision to go to the right school.”
At 6’8″, it’s hard to miss Edwards when he is on the basketball court. However, much of the recent recruiting attention can be attributed to the month of July AAU he had for Michigan United in front of college coaches. According to Edwards, he says college coaches have shown interest in his ball handling abilities, mid-range jump shot, attacking the glass, and taking defenders off the bounce to the basket.
Edwards is open to all schools at this point. He has visited Ball State this Fall, and plans to take a few more visits before the high school season starts. When he decides on a school, it will be because of the “campus, the way the teamates are, head coach, the majors, and feel of it.”
