Kentucky has a new competitor for its prized recruiting target in the junior class, but not to the extent many think — not yet, anyway.
Louisville head coach Kenny Payne has expressed early interest in 2023 five-star guard Dajuan Wagner Jr., the grandson of Payne’s former teammate at UofL, Milt Wagner. The two won a national title together as players in 1986, and now, speculation has run rampant that Payne will not only make a strong push for the standout junior, but he may even hire his grandfather to help bring him to Louisville.
