Kentucky’s top two guard targets regardless of class are competing together in Marbella, Spain with the United States U17 National Team. In 2023, it’s five-star guard DJ Wagner, who the Wildcats are in a battle against Kenny Payne and the Louisville Cardinals to land. And then in 2024, it’s five-star guard Ian Jackson, the first prospect in the rising junior class to receive a scholarship offer from Kentucky when the direct contact period opened in June.
Even with five-star senior Rob Dillingham committed to Kentucky, is there a chance the Wildcats add both Wagner and Jackson in 2023?
