6-7 Edmond O'Callaghan selects IWU

The commitment of 6-7/205 F/C Edmond O'Callaghan from St. Patrick H.S. in Chicago to Illinois Wesleyan reminds this southside Irishmen of a blessing taught to me by Grandma McClowry...

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the green-clad Titans always have good post players.

Terrific news for Ron Rose and staff. O'Callaghan played on a very good St. Pat's team that featured Division I recruit Sam Maniscalco (Bradley). The Shamrocks finished 20-7 overall and 10-3 in the East Suburban Catholic, good for 2nd place behind powerhouse St. Joseph. O'Callaghan averaged 10.1 ppg and 8.3 rpg in support of Maniscalco's 20.3 ppg.

O'Callaghan made the All-East Suburban Catholic team, alongside players like Maniscalco, Evan Turner (Ohio State), Demetri McCamey (Illinois), Garrett Leffelman (Brown), and Sean Kane (Brown).

Edmond will add depth in the post for the Titans.

A nice addition to the IWU Class of 2011.
