On any other roster Edwards (9 points and 3 assists per game) would work as a scoring machine posting headline grabbing stats. For Roman, Edwards is asked to play the role of tempo controlling floor general and he does an incredible job meeting that challenge. Edwards’s ability to spread the ball around to his talented teammates is unique. He has a knack for delivering the rock to the hot hand in the right spot. But make no mistake, Edwards can get buckets at every level too. Edwards has proven that again during this year’s 6A state tourney as poured in 22 points (4 threes) in the 1st Round and then 24 points (4 made threes) in Roman’s 2nd Round win over defending 6A state champion Central York. In addition to popping triples, this fast and elusive guard can get to the rim in transition as well as on half-court possessions. How this dynamic 2025 prospect remains available is a complete mystery.

on the interior, Edwards was confident and efficient while capitalizing on a number of clean catch-and-shoot attempts and streaking layups. With a confident high release, he consistently relocated to open space and elevated over closing defenders for smooth jumpers. He contributed to a stifling Roman defense to help spark transition opportunities which he cashed in at the rim, before flashing his individual scoring ability on a couple second half drives. Edwards has always had natural scoring ability, but his emerging frame and growing confidence have him ascending further onto scholarship radars.

Over the last two years, Roman’s lineup has been stacked with upperclassmen talent which meant the multi-skilled Edwards was flying under the radar. In 2024-25, we expect he will be a major contributor for RC. After his outstanding pay at last weekend’s Big 64 showcase, there is no doubt Edwards is ready for that promotion. Edwards is a versatile offensive threat who can drain threes from all around the arc. His textbook mechanics and deep range are impressive. Edwards can also get to the hoop off the bounce and then finish through fouls. Edwards owns the quickness, nifty handles, and instincts to push the rock in transition for scores and assists.
