Five-star basketball recruit Justin Edwards will reveal his college decision at 7 p.m. Monday, and the Kentucky Wildcats are the overwhelming favorite going into that announcement.
The 247Sports Crystal Ball and other national prediction sites have made UK the unanimous pick to land Edwards’ commitment. The 6-foot-7 wing from Philadelphia has already said that his recruitment is down to two schools — Kentucky and Tennessee — and the Cats account for all 12 predictions across his 247Sports, On3.com and Rivals.com pages. A few of those picks have come from national analysts, and even some recruiting experts who cover Tennessee have weighed in with predictions in favor of Kentucky.
Edwards is the No. 4 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the 247Sports composite rankings, but he’s in the discussion to rise to the No. 1 overall spot as this recruiting cycle continues with no clear leader for that position. Edwards’ announcement will be shown live on CBS Sports HQ on Monday night.
