Pat Kelsey has received his first commitment from a non-Charleston player through the transfer portal, and it’s a significant one for the University of Louisville. Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year Terrence Edwards from James Madison has committed to the Cardinals, according to Jeff Goodman from the Field of 68 and Cardinal Authority. Edwards arrived late Monday night after a visit to Florida State.
Edwards played four seasons and 117 games at James Madison. He finished his career with 1,414 points, 525 rebounds, 278 assists, and 111 steals. Throughout his Dukes career, he shot 46.2 percent from the field.
Edwards will have one year of eligibility after deciding on his next institution.
Several institutions have contacted Edwards, including the University of Louisiana, Florida State, Arkansas, Oregon, Tennessee, Auburn, Creighton, Wisconsin, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Xavier, and others. He accessed the transfer portal on Wednesday.
According to 247Sports, Edwards is presently the No. 34 transfer prospect and the No. 4 combo guard in the site.
Kelsey was named the new Louisville coach last Thursday. He has been in contact.
Louisville currently only has two players on the roster from last season that are not in the transfer portal, including Ty-Laur Johnson and Emmanual Okorafor. Most of the current U of L players in the portal are still on campus and expected to meet with Kelsey before making a final decision on their futures.
