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

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.
