On Monday, Princeton picked up a verbal commitment from 6'8" 230 lb big man Daniel Edwards, who hails from Highland Park, TX and attends the same high school that Tiger center Chris Young graduated from a decade ago. Edwards chose Princeton over interest from Penn and Bucknell.
Pending admission, Edwards will join guard T.J. Bray in Princeton's 2010 recruiting class.
Yesterday afternoon I spoke with Edwards' high school coach, David Piehler. He shared his thoughts with me about Edwards, both on-and-off the court.
Exclusive quotes and links to articles and evaluations about Edwards can be found after the jump.

I had only hoped that by this point I would have earned a period in the subject line, not a question mark.
