Per the 247Sports composite rankings, Edwards is the No. 1 small forward in the class of 2023 and the No. 1 overall recruit from the state of Pennsylvania.
The Wildcats now have 3 players in their 2023 recruiting class. That class currently ranks No. 3 in the nation, per 247Sports. We’ll see if Edwards can draw other top names to Lexington ahead of the 2023-24 season.
