    Anthony Edwards, the 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Holy Spirit (GA) Preparatory School who recently reclassified from 2020 to the 2019 recruiting class, has cut his list of schools.

    Currently ranked No. 4 in 2019 by 247Sports.com, Edwards is down to Duke, Florida State, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State, North Carolina and UCLA. Florida State is considered the heavy favorite.

    He broke down several schools recently for 247Sports:

    Florida State: “Florida State’s pitch has been to come here, the offense is set up for a player like you and you’ll get as many buckets as you want.”

    Georgia: “With Georgia, Tom Crean is a great coach. He’s had two players I’ve looked up to a lot, Dwyane Wade and Victor Oladipo.”

    Kentucky: “Kentucky is just a great school and a great program with a great fan base and stuff like that.”

    Michigan State: “Tom Izzo is a great coach. Some people I know have went there and a Hall of Famer that I know has gone there and he tells me about Tom Izzo all the time and says he’s a great person and that it’s a good school.”

    North Carolina: “I talk to him all the time. They say come here and we are going to get you in the league and he said they are going to get me in the best shape.. He always say he’s a winning and he coached the great ever and he didn’t coach him for no reason.”

    He has taken unofficial visits to Auburn, Clemson, and Florida State.

    “I don’t have any [official visit] dates yet, but I know for sure I’m going to set up visit for Florida State and Michigan State,” Edwards said. “I haven’t decided about the other three.”
