The latest
Edwards's recruitment is just starting to kick into high gear. While he's taken unofficial visits within the Tar Heel State, VT joins Illinois and Texas A&M (Georgia has since hopped on-board) as major-conference options. The Orange and Maroon have done a good job recruiting North Carolina over the years (particularly when the national powers from that state are not options yet for a player) and getting him to town will be important, because everyone who sees him seems to offer in short order.
Film
Edwards is a tenacious on-ball defender who uses smart positioning and quick hands and feet to make life tough for opposing ball-handlers. He has good full-court athleticism to turn opportunities in space into fast-break buckets. He handles well with both hands, and he has a fearless attitude attacking the bucket. He'll want to get physically stronger to hold up defensively and to not get knocked away from the rim in finishing. He has a smooth shooting stroke, though he seems to lack a bit of confidence in actually putting attempts up - he's a drive-and-distribute player at this stage. As he develops physically, he'll want to broaden his offensive game, but the pieces are in place to be a successful ACC guard.
