Why Dre’Una Edwards isn’t the same player this year

With Kyra Elzy behind the blueprint for Kentucky Women’s Basketball, the storied ‘Cats program is undergoing a major makeover. Perhaps nobody is more representative of this change than redshirt junior Dre’Una Edwards.

Edwards’ long journey to success

Edwards traveled a difficult journey to get where she is now. The 6-foot-2 forward began her collegiate career at Utah. Though Edwards only played one season with the Utes, she left quite an impression. Edwards was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and showed impressive glimpses of potential throughout the season. Unfortunately, her season was cut short when she suffered a knee injury at the end of her freshman campaign.
