It’s a good thing John Calipari has all of those frequent flyer miles because he will need them for his upcoming 14-hour flight to Spain. Later this week, Calipari and Orlando Antigua are headed to Malaga, Spain, for the 2022 FIBA Basketball Under-17 World Cup and for the betterment of Kentucky Basketball. At Malaga’s summer FIBA World Cup, Kentucky’s coaching staff will see several of their top targets for the future, including Class of 2023 star DJ Wagner.
The most important recruit on UK’s board, Wagner headlines the pool of young talent playing on the United States’ U17 World Cup team this upcoming weekend and, if all goes well, on into next week.
