Add another accolade to the list for Kentucky signee Justin Edwards — and it’s a big one. The top-ten recruit in the class of 2023 has been named Mr. Basketball in Pennsylvania, an honor recognizing the best high school player from his home state.
Edwards was selected among six finalists after helping lead his Imhotep Charter Panthers to their ninth state championship since 2009. The future Wildcat averaged 17.9 points and 7.5 rebounds as a senior to lead the team. His career highlights include being named Philadelphia Public League MVP twice while winning the Public League Championship three times and PIAA state title twice.
