There are certain truths in life, and one of them is the old coach’s saying: you can’t teach seven feet.
That isn’t to say the only reason that Ryan Edwards is on Gonzaga is because he is seven feet tall (with an extra inch in case he shrinks). You don’t walk on to a perennial top 25 team unless you can flat out ball, so we know that there is the skill in Edwards.
And at times, last season, he did showcase it. The Zags were forced to use Edwards probably a bit more than they expected, and there were some glimpses of why he is useful in there.
