Kentucky is very much in the mix for one of the top high school players in the country.
Justin Edwards, a five-star class of 2023 small forward, is down to just seven potential options for the next level, he tells On3’s Joe Tipton. The Wildcats made the cut, as did the likes of Tennessee, Auburn, Maryland, Kansas, Villanova, and the NBA’s G League Ignite. A 6-foot-7 wing out of the Philadelphia Imhotep Institute, Edwards is considered the No. 13 overall junior prospect, according to the On3 Consensus.
Kentucky and Tennessee both paid in-home visits to Edwards earlier this week, not long after he was named the Defensive MVP over the weekend at the Nike EYBL second session in Indianapolis.
