Former Kentucky five-star D.J. Wagner enters NCAA transfer portal

Former five-star recruit D.J. Wagner became the latest Wildcats to enter the transfer portal on Monday.

Wagner did so after head coach John Calipari opted to leave Kentucky to take the head coaching position at Arkansas.

Wagner committed to Kentucky as a highly touted recruit, being the number one combo guard in the country out of Camden High School, where he played with fellow Wildcat Aaron Bradshaw.

Facing nagging injuries throughout the season, Wagner wasn’t able to truly rise to his maximum potential, averaging 9.9 points, 1.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game while shooting just over 40% from the field.
