One of South Florida's most experienced guards in the Class of 2027 has made her college decision.

Miami Country Day standout Kori Edge has committed to Furman University, giving the Paladins a battle-tested South Florida guard ahead of Edge's senior high school season.

Edge announced the decision this summer, thanking her family, teammates and coaches before officially declaring her commitment to Furman.

For Edge, the commitment represents the next step in a basketball journey that has included years at Miami Country Day, extensive time within the Miami Suns organization and, most recently, a grassroots season with Florida Girls Basketball.

It has been a long road through one of the country's deepest girls basketball markets.

Now Edge knows where that road will take her next.

A Longtime Miami Country Day Guard

Edge has been part of the Miami Country Day basketball program for years and has developed inside one of Florida's most successful girls basketball environments.

Miami Country Day isn't simply another South Florida high school program.

The Spartans have built a championship tradition and consistently produced college basketball talent.

Edge has been part of that tradition.

One of her biggest early moments came during Miami Country Day's 2024 state championship run.

In the championship game against Cardinal Mooney, Edge scored 18 points and added three assists as Miami Country Day captured its ninth state championship in 12 years.

She was still an underclassman.

That experience matters.

By the time Edge enters her final high school season, she will already have played in championship games, national events, major grassroots tournaments and high-pressure situations against some of the best competition available.

Defense Has Become Part of Her Identity

Edge is a 5-foot-6 guard who can contribute on both ends of the floor, but one part of her game has consistently stood out.

Defense.

The Miami Herald specifically identified Edge as one of the players expected to lead Miami Country Day's tough defensive style entering the 2025-26 season.

The numbers backed that up.

During the 2025-26 season, Edge recorded 61 steals, second on Miami Country Day, while also finishing with 95 assists. She shot 85 percent from the free throw line, the best mark listed on the team.

Those numbers help explain her value.

Edge doesn't need the basketball in her hands every possession to impact a game.

She can pressure opposing guards.

She can create turnovers.

She can facilitate.

She can attack.

And she has spent years learning how to contribute within talented lineups where multiple players are capable of scoring.

That versatility should translate well to the college level.

Years With the Miami Suns

Edge's development didn't happen exclusively during the high school season.

For years, she was part of the Miami Suns, one of South Florida's most established girls grassroots programs.

Her Suns history goes back several seasons.

A 2023 USA Basketball event roster listed Edge as a 5-foot-6 point guard playing for Miami Suns Select while attending Miami Country Day.

She later appeared on the Miami Suns' 16U EYBL roster as a 2027 guard.

That meant spending her summers competing against national-level talent while continuing to develop within the South Florida basketball community.

Edge's time with the Suns became an important part of her basketball identity.

She wasn't a player who suddenly appeared on the recruiting scene late in high school.

She has been competing in high-level grassroots basketball for years.

A New Grassroots Chapter With FGB

More recently, Edge made a change in her grassroots journey, joining Florida Girls Basketball, commonly known as FGB.

For a player who spent significant time with the Miami Suns, the move represented a new environment during an important stage of her recruitment.

But the larger story remained the same.

Edge continued competing against high-level players while preparing for the college level.

By the summer of 2026, however, the biggest question surrounding her future had been answered.

She was going to Furman.

Why Furman?

Furman gives Edge an opportunity to continue her career at the Division I level in Greenville, South Carolina.

The Paladins compete in the Southern Conference, giving Edge the opportunity to transition from the highly competitive South Florida basketball scene into Division I college basketball.

For a guard with her background, the fit is intriguing.

Edge has spent much of her career playing alongside other talented guards.

She understands how to contribute without dominating possessions.

She has experience facilitating.

She has shown an ability to defend.

And she has played within winning programs where individual numbers aren't always the only measurement of impact.

Those qualities become increasingly important at the college level.

The Recruiting Process Started Years Ago

Edge has been viewed as a college prospect for quite some time.

Prospects Nation identified Edge and Miami Country Day teammate Jalynn Belton as two of the program's leading 2027 prospects while both were still underclassmen, noting that each already held scholarship offers.

By early 2025, evaluators were describing Edge as a three-level scoring guard capable of playing both on and off the basketball while highlighting her ability as an on-ball defender.

The Furman commitment is therefore not the beginning of Edge's recruiting story.

It is the conclusion of a process that developed over several seasons.

One More Season at Miami Country Day

Before Edge heads to Greenville, there is still unfinished business in Miami.

She enters the 2026-27 high school season as a senior with championship experience and an opportunity to help lead another talented Miami Country Day team.

And there is something valuable about having the recruiting process completed before that season begins.

The visits, offers and uncertainty surrounding a college decision can now move into the background.

Basketball can move back to the front.

For Edge, that means one final high school season representing a Miami Country Day program where she has already experienced what it feels like to win a state championship.

It means another opportunity to compete alongside teammates she has grown with.

And it means preparing herself for the jump to Division I basketball.

From South Florida to Furman

Edge's journey is also another example of how many different environments can contribute to the development of one athlete.

Miami Country Day provided the high school foundation.

The Miami Suns provided years of grassroots competition.

FGB became the latest chapter of her summer basketball career.

Now Furman becomes the destination.

From an underclassman scoring 18 points in a state championship game to a senior entering her final season with a Division I commitment already secured, Kori Edge has steadily built her résumé.

The next chapter will eventually take her outside South Florida.

But before becoming a Furman Paladin, Kori Edge has one more season at Miami Country Day.
