Well, this may be the most excited I've ever been for a new rocket recruit. one, cuz he's got NBA potential, great offensive feel for a 6-10 guy, and apparently a solid family, academic and personal foundation, but... more so cuz I got a lot of Filipino family, my wife was a founder of the UT Filipino-American association, and having the Philippines top national prospect playing ball for the Rockets is gonna make it far easier to get fam to watch the rockets games with me.

Edu is a brilliant recruit. The hardest player for a mid major to recruit is the true big man. Yeah, Edu is still thin, has played mostly against what looks like US high school JV competition, and is unlikely to be an immediate star, but his game is well rounded, his future is bright and if he was 220 lbs or had played against more high profile competition he would be at Kentucky or Gonzaga.

Go Rockets! Do it for the bayan.
