After reopening her recruitment following a previous commitment to Tennessee Lady Volunteers, Edwards has quickly drawn attention from powerhouse programs across the country.
Among the schools firmly in the mix is South Carolina Gamecocks women’s basketball, led by championship-winning head coach Dawn Staley.
