Syracuse basketball sophomore center Jesse Edwards recently expressed confidence in his abilities, as well as his comfort in the role that he has on the team.

The 6-foot-11 Edwards, a native of Amsterdam, Netherlands, who suited up for the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., prior to joining the ‘Cuse, has a strong work ethic.

Head coach Jim Boeheim says that Edwards has been putting in a lot of work with assistant coach Allen Griffin on his conditioning and his physicality. That work is paying off.
