Closed out the summer evaluation period with a strong game against South Florida's SOH Elite. Has had a great summer playing with Southeast Elite (Central Florida based) and has clearly elevated himself into the "1 & done" talk. Also, at this point would be surprised if he's not selected for the McDonald's All-American game. Great move by him to go play with Coach Ricks.

EDGECOMBE MAKING FIVE-STAR CASE

(Photo: 247Sports)
In less than a year, 6-foot-5 wing VJ Edgecombe of Austin Rivers Southeast Elite and Glen Head (N.Y.) Long Island Lutheran has gone from totally unranked to No. 20 overall in the class of 2024. Based on his play in Las Vegas, his climb may not be done and he may be ready to take that next step to five-star status.

Edgecombe’s weekend started off slow making just 3-14 shots from the floor against Indiana Elite in a Friday morning game. From there on out, though, he was a stud. Over the course of his last five games of the weekend, Edgecombe averaged 23 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game while looking like the best wing player in the event.

Yes, he can still be a little streaky with his jumper and he can be turnover prone at times. But Edgecombe continues to improve in every aspect of his game at a rapid pace and his size, athleticism, body control and potential to be a defensive standout on top of his offensive prowess all suggest he’s earned a move up in the rankings. Edgecombe’s game and progress are quite similar to that of former Kansas guard Ben McLemore who became a lottery pick and has played over 550 games in the NBA.

Just last week, Edgecombe updated his recruitment with our Dushawn London and he appears to be in no rush to make a college decision.

He's from Long Island, literally next door to Saint John's (Queens).

Consensus on the Johnnie forums think he's gonna be a tough pull - for anyone.
