UNC Basketball: 2019 5-star prospect Anthony Edwards trims list to 5

The North Carolina basketball program got some good news on Friday morning when one its top targets in the class of 2019 named the Tar Heels to his reduced list of finalists.

Anthony Edwards, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound shooting guard out of Holy Spirit Preparatory School in Atlanta, Georgia, trimmed his list of eight schools down to just five, and North Carolina was among the programs to make the cut.

Along with the Tar Heels, Edwards named Florida State, Georgia, Kansas and Kentucky to his list, eliminating Duke, Michigan State and UCLA in the process.

It wasn’t surprising to see hometown sweetheart Georgia make the list.
