Kentucky is making up ground with Justin Edwards

The Kentucky Wildcats are in a recruiting battle with an SEC rival for one of the best players in the 2023 class.

Justin Edwards is currently ranked as the No. 4 overall player and No. 1 overall small forward, according to 247 Sports’ Composite rankings.

And it’s shaping up to be a battle between the Wildcats and Tennessee Volunteers.

Jack Pilgrim of Kentucky Sports Radio reported on Wednesday that the 6-foot-7 wing out of Philadelphia told KSR that John Calipari has taken over his recruitment by ramping up personal contact in recent months.
