DJ Wagner's commitment earlier this week pushed the Wildcats to the lead in a last-minute shakeup to the top-25 list.
Jon Scheyer was well on his way to going back-to-back on No. 1 recruiting classes, until Kentucky snagged a commitment Monday from elite point guard DJ Wagner.
That gave John Calipari the slight edge he needed to claim the top spot as the NCAA’s early signing period drew to a close Wednesday.
The Wildcats’ five-man haul includes two of the most talented point guards in the country in Wagner and Robert Dillingham, arguably the top wing (Justin Edwards) and center (Aaron Bradshaw) and one of the country’s best combo guards in Reed Sheppard.
