Kenny Payne is reportedly considering taking legal measures against the Louisville basketball program.

Terrence Edwards Jr., the Sun Belt Player of the Year, is won by Louisville.

Pat Kelsey’s inaugural move in the transfer portal for Louisville brings forth one of the most skilled players available in the pool.

Terrrence Edwards Jr., the Sun Belt Player of the Year from James Madison, has committed to join the Cardinals for the upcoming season. Jeff Goodman of Field of 68 was the first to report this development.

Standing at 6 feet 6 inches tall, Edwards is a junior forward with a year of eligibility remaining. He served as the leading scorer for a JMU team that achieved a school-record 32 wins last season, including a notable victory over Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament’s opening round. Edwards, honored as the Sun Belt POY, maintained impressive averages of 17.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game, shooting 42.7 percent from the field, 34.3 percent from beyond the arc, and 81.0 percent from the free-throw line.

His offensive prowess is remarkable, characterized by slick and creative playmaking abilities. Edwards excels in maneuvering past defenders to penetrate the lane, adept at drawing fouls and finishing with his right hand. While there’s room for improvement in his left-hand finishing, his three-point shooting proficiency and physical attributes enable him to effectively create scoring opportunities against various defensive matchups.

Defensively, Edwards is equally impressive, showcasing exceptional hands and utilizing his length to disrupt passing lanes and generate deflections. His off-ball awareness and communication skills offer a refreshing aspect to Louisville’s defensive lineup.

However, concerns arise regarding Edwards’ physique at the collegiate level, with his frame measuring at 6 feet 6 inches and 190 pounds. The transition to finishing around the rim against ACC competition poses a legitimate challenge.

Nevertheless, the positives significantly outweigh the negatives in Edwards’ acquisition. This notable addition elevates Louisville’s potential, hinting at a promising NCAA tournament-caliber team in Pat Kelsey’s inaugural season. While there’s still progress to be made in shaping the roster, Edwards’ arrival marks an impressive starting point.
