Edwards signs with North Greenville
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — One of the top basketball players in southeast Georgia decided to start his collegiate basketball career at North Greenville University. Zayden Edwards says he spoke with over 30 schools before ultimately picking the Division II university in Tigerville, South Carolina. Edwards said seeing his older brother, Zyere, go through the recruitment process two years ago really helped him. 'I thought it'd be a lot of fun, which it was a lot of fun,' Edwards said when referring to vision of the recruitment process. 'But with that comes a lot of stress and ultimately deciding that you can only go to one school. So [Zyere] mentored me and made sure I asked the right questions. 'When you're being recruited, because a lot of times schools only want to tell you the good things. So, understanding the different questions to ask. Asking about things that people don't want to know about but that are necessary in order for you to understand that you're going to be here for the next four years.' Edwards leaves St. Andrew's after a prolific high school career. Among the many accolades he earned during his career as a Lion: becoming the school's all-time leading scorer, winning three state championships in four years, being named GIAA player of the year twice and not losing a region game in four years. Sitting at the table with Edwards during his signing were his father, older brother and younger sister. His mother watched via Facetime. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
