Saturday Headlines: DJ Wagner momentum? Edition

Happy Saturday BBN, and my goodness it’s a beautiful one.

John Calipari looks to be on a heater for the ages. After landing Reed Sheppard and Robert Dillingham, he now looks poised to land coveted recruit DJ Wagner. UofL has been getting all the love for months in regards to Wagner. It seemed as if they sealed the deal after Kenny Payne hired Milt Wagner, DJ’s grandfather.

Things turned toward Kentucky’s favor after John Calipari went to Spain to watch DJ at the U17 championships and give him the final pitch. While Cal went to Spain himself, Kenny Payne opted to stay home and send Nolan Smith, his assistant coach.
