13p 5r 1a 2b vs Catholic
-Sturdy forward prospect that plays hard at both ends of the floor and steadily improves his ball skills in between each time that I see him play basketball. Edwards took a defensive rebound C2C to score at the opposite end, is rotating much better to challenge shots around the rim, throws his weight around in the paint to carve out space for rebounds at both ends of the floor, and sets great screens on the perimeter to free up his guards. His touch around the rim continues to improve as he develops better spatial awareness for where he is under the basket on spin moves and PnR possessions at the rim. Interesting name to track in Baltimore’s 2028 class.

Expect Edwards to be a force in the B Conference for the next two years. Another dual-sport standout, Edwards knows how to use his 6-foot-6 frame with mass to his advantage in overwhelming longer forwards as he can bury them under the rim before laying it in. He was effective in creating and maintaining leverage on the block to put himself or others in position to swoop in for rebounds. He set effective ball screens and remained active as a roller or diver as others penetrated the paint or baseline. Edwards went on to score 12 points, grab seven rebounds and dish out three assists as double-teams presented themselves on touches inside later in the matchup.
