Top recruit D.J. Wagner says playing with his brother played a ‘big part’ in picking Kentucky

Posted Nov 22, 2022
More than two years ago, Kentucky coach John Calipari added Kareem Watkins as a walk-on to his basketball team. Watkins, listed at 5-foot-8 and 175 pounds, just happened to be the stepson of Dajuan Wagner, the former Camden High School great who played for Calipari at Memphis, and the stepbrother of DJ Wagner, the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2023.
