UConn women’s basketball’s already-loaded 2020 class just got better. On Thursday, the Huskies landed Aaliyah Edwards, a win out of Canada. She’s rated as the No. 26 player in the class and the fourth-best wing by ESPN. Edwards visited campus for First Night a few weeks ago.
A native of Kingston, Ontario — located on Lake Ontario — the 6-foot-2 Edwards is described as an “ultra-athletic perimeter prospect with off-the-charts potential,” by ESPN. Her former coach at Frontenac Secondary School compared her Kawhi Leonard.
“There’s a lot of parallels there for sure,” he told GlobalNews.ca.
