5-star basketball recruit DJ Wagner not playing favorites among Louisville, Kentucky

DJ Wagner loves college basketball.

And the top-ranked recruit in the high school class of 2023 will let you know it. Perhaps at the expense of the subjects you'd choose for him to discuss.

So no, Wagner — a five-star point guard out of hoops hotbed Camden, N.J. — didn't take the bait Friday night at the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League stop in Indianapolis. He didn't break down a recruiting race that figures to be among the hottest topics in the commonwealth this year.

Yes, both Louisville and Kentucky are pursuing Wagner, whose grandfather Milt is a former Cardinal and whose father Dajuan played at Memphis for Wildcats coach John Calipari.
