Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari has scored another recruiting superclass with the addition of top 2023 prospect DJ Wagner.
Wagner, a 6-foot-3 combo guard from New Jersey, hopped on SportsCenter's social media accounts Monday afternoon to choose the Wildcats over archrival Louisville. With his signing, Wagner became the fifth member of UK's loaded 2023 haul, which has since passed Duke for the top spot on 247Sports' national leaderboard.
"We have five talented and dynamic players who have the drive and commitment it takes to succeed at Kentucky," the coach said in a news release from UK Athletics formally introducing his 2023 class.
