Justin Edwards has committed to the Kentucky Wildcats, giving head coach John Calipari a high-caliber five-star wing in back-to-back recruiting classes. Clocking in at 6-foot-7, 180 pounds, Edwards is a defense-first prospect with a growing offensive game. He chose the ‘Cats over intraconference rival Tennessee after Calipari took control of the reins and hauled him in. Edwards has legitimate NBA lottery potential and should shine at the college level alongside top-tier talent more than he did on the grassroots stage.
So what is Kentucky getting in Edwards? Over the last 18 months, I’ve been able to watch him play live roughly a dozen times.
