Five-star shooting guard Anthony Edwards began his official visit to UK on Monday and will watch the Cats take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
Edwards is ranked as the No. 1 player in America in the class of 2019 by 247Sports. He was originally a 2020 recruit, but he reclassified in November and jumped atop the national rankings.
The 6-5, 215-pound prospect lists Kentucky along with Georgia, Florida State, Kansas, and North Carolina in his final five schools.
The Seminoles have longed been viewed as the favorite in Edwards’ recruitment, but Georgia got the first official visit.
