The experts now think that No. 1 basketball recruit DJ Wagner is headed to Kentucky

Posted Jul 13, 2022
For most of DJ Wagner’s high school career, the Kentucky Wildcats were viewed as the major — some said, can’t-miss — favorite to land his commitment. Wagner, long ranked as the No. 1 recruit in the 2023 class, is the son of Dajuan Wagner, who was John Calipari’s original one-and-done at Memphis. And then Louisville hired Kenny Payne.
