DJ Wagner recruitment update: Michigan in the mix?

Heading into the final summer of his high school career, the noise surrounding DJ Wagner’s recruitment is only going to grow louder and louder.

A five-star class of 2023 combo guard considered to be one of the top three prospects in the country, Wagner has long been linked to Kentucky and head coach John Calipari. The tides have shifted a bit over the last few months with Kenny Payne in charge now at Louisville. Ever since Payne was hired as head coach at UL, it’s felt like a two-horse race between the two in-state rivals.
