Anthony Edwards reclassifies, becomes No. 1 recruit in 2019 class

Move aside, James Wiseman; there’s a new No. 1 recruit in the 2019 class. According to Evan Daniels, five-star guard Anthony Edwards has reclassified from 2020 to 2019, and yes, he’s considering Kentucky.

“Kentucky is just a great school and a great program with a great fan base and stuff like that,” he told Daniels.

Edwards says he has offers from Florida State, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan State and North Carolina. He averaged 21 points and 6.1 rebounds on the Under Armour circuit last summer. He usurped Wiseman as the top player in the 2019 class in 247 Sports’ rankings, which Brian Snow said wasn’t even a debate.
