Five-star basketball recruit D.J. Wagner announced his commitment to Kentucky on Monday afternoon.
The No. 1 ranked player in the Class of 2023, according to 247 Sports, chose between Kentucky and Louisville. He has family ties to both programs and was heavily recruited by both.
Wagner’s father, Dajuan, was the nation’s No. 1 prospect in 2000 and chose to play for John Calipari while he coached at Memphis.
Wagner’s grandfather, Milt, was on the 1986 Louisville title team. Now, he works as the team’s director of player development and alumni relations.
