Edison's program has fallen on hard times, but they have two guys who are very intriguing. These two would be getting a lot more hype at bigger programs:

Robert Knowles, 6'1, 180 pounds (S/CB)

Long, aggressive, has excellent COD skills and closes distance in a flash. He plays all over the field but projects best in a role similar to what Antrel Rolle does for the Giants. He can cover the slot, play some safety and be a missile in the run game.

Andy Jean-Baptiste, 6'5, 250 pounds (DE)

This guy hasn't played in two years and it shows. Very, very raw. But he has a perfect frame and is a smooth athlete. Very flexible and shows a lot of versatility for an inexperienced player. A lot of these Haitian prospects bloom late and become stars. This might be the next one.

Edison used to be the hub (that's where we got William and Carlos Joseph) but they have been bad for a while. At one point they were talking about closing down the program.

These guys have fallen way under the radar for that reason. Not saying they are UM kids yet but they are players to watch.
 
Didn't Brandon Washington play at Edison? Until he transferred to northwestern his senior year?

What does being good at a video game have anything to do with football?!

If they shut the program down where would those kids attend?

Miami Central/ Northwestern/ North Miami....they are grabbing some of that area kids anyway...and schools like Champagnat are grabbing some of the scar players for Edison.
 
Come on man! Too many polished players for 2015 to even consider either of these cats. Edison probably just needs a few good high profile coaches to go over there and get them right. If Jean Baptiste had another year (2016), if truly 250 lbs he could be moved to DT and come in at 270 lbs by then.
