  • The University of Toledo men’s basketball team has signed a third member to its 2018-19 recruiting class after AJ Edu of Colchester, England signed a national letter of intent Thursday.

    Edu, a 6-foot-10, 205-pound forward, scored 18.6 points, 14.7 rebounds, 2.7 blocks, 2.0 assists, and 1.4 steals per game for South Gloucestershire and Stroud College. He was named first-team All-Elite Academy Basketball League West Conference and was defensive player of the year.

    "We're thrilled to have AJ become a member of our program," UT coach Tod Kowalczyk said in a release. "He's a very long, athletic, skilled individual who has an unbelievable upside to his game. AJ wants to learn and be in a position that he gets better every year. I told him that this is the place for him to do that. I think he has a chance to be a really special player."
