"With the graduation of Kaosi and Jonathan, it was imperative that we get size and interior production in the post. We are extremely blessed to have Edward join our Aggie Family. Edward has a tremendous joy about him that translates into playing with tons of passion and energy. With two years left to play, Ed was someone that we coveted and felt as if his best basketball is still ahead of him."
