Sunday Headlines: Kareem Watkins’ Bond with DJ Wagner

Happy Sunday Big Blue Nation!

With another beautiful day across the Bluegrass, let’s dive into some new to start your day off right.

Arguably one of the most popular names in the state is DJ Wagner. The top-five recruit has long been thought to be a lock to UK, then enters Kenny Payne to Louisville. It is no secret to anyone as well that Payne has added Wagner’s grandfather, Milt Wagner, to an alumni relations role for the program. That seemed to shift the scales in the favor of the Cards in this recruitment, but John Calipari and Kentucky already have a key connection that many might be counting out.
