Milt Wagner is reportedly being hired at the University of Louisville in a role that will allow the school to continue recruiting 2023 No. 1 recruit DJ Wagner.
According to Ty Spalding of CardinalSports.com, the five-star guard’s grandfather is being brought on in a hybrid Director of Player Development/Alumni Relations position with the university.
Wagner won a national title for the Cardinals in 1986 alongside Kenny Payne, the program’s new head coach. The two are best friends and have been for decades. There was talk when Payne was hired that Wagner would be hired as an on-court assistant, a move that would allow the program to recruit his top-ranked grandson.
