  • Zena Edosomwan to Harvard

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Zena Edosomwan, a 6-foot-8 forward from Harvard-Westlake in Calif., has verbally pledged to Harvard and will enroll there in 2013 following a year at Northfield Mount Hermon.

    “I picked Harvard because it is a great school and my relationship with Coach [Tommy] Amaker and Coach Yanni [Hufnagel],” he said by text.

    Edosomwan picked Harvard over offers from UCLA, Texas, USC, Cal and Washington.

    “I will bring toughness, defense, versatility and a winning attitude,” he said.

    He will first prep a year for head coach John Carroll at NMH, a perennial national prep power.

    Harvard-Westlake coach Greg Hilliard had previously said Edosomwan needed to get his SAT score up to qualify for Harvard.

    “He still doesn’t have the index he’s after,” Hilliard said last week. “The last test he took in January is due back any day now. He still would have the opportunity to take it another time if he’s short.”
