A future Naismith High School Boys Player of the Year may be joining Kentucky's roster next season.
Wildcats basketball fans already know the names, though.
Highly touted 2023 signees DJ Wagner and Justin Edwards were named finalists for the national award Thursday, taking up two of the five spots. They are also two of the biggest names in coach John Calipari's No. 1-ranked recruiting class that has already received much hype.
The duo is joined by five-star prospects: guards Isaiah Collier (Southern California) and Ron Holland (Texas) , and forward Cameron Boozer (uncommitted).
