It’s been awhile but since Kentucky has had an elite guard like Wagner. He’s really showing his ability at the McDonald’s game, I’m really impressed.

And, he’s pretty advanced for a HS kid, too. His footwork & ability to get to the rim AND finish are next level. Very good mid-range game, as well. He’d be damn near unguardable if he can tighten up his stroke & get in the neighborhood of 40% from 3.Yep. He’s the real deal. Thought for awhile last year he had fell off some. Nope! Kid is elite! Absolute jet!
Excellent analysis, per usual. His footwork and balance is pro level. Has a very good base. Strong for a young kid as well. Love this class also. Really wish we could’ve gotten Holland.And, he’s pretty advanced for a HS kid, too. His footwork & ability to get to the rim AND finish are next level. Very good mid-range game, as well.

I really like every player in our class & I think the potential is there for a special season, with the right supporting cast & approach. It’s just hard for me to expect much when the coach is more interested in Walnut Grove drama than scouting our opponents & puts together lineup combinations like he’s drawing names out of a hat.

Cal is going to have a tough time crushing it in the portal.Wagner is for sure elite, will likely be more in the Wall, Fox mold than what we've been used to lately.
This is a good group, but young. Cal needs to knock it out of the park with the Portal.
Wait until the first Big Blue Madness where he will be taught that you only have to compete sometimes. We will squeeze the competitive spirit out of these guys.
Draftcat flipped out after Q1 last night…..said that they all sucked and we were going to suck next year. Didn’t he beg to be a moderator ? SMHIt’s been awhile but since Kentucky has had an elite guard like Wagner. He’s really showing his ability at the McDonald’s game, I’m really impressed.
Lmao. Very true.
Agreed. However, it depends on who said transfer is. If it’s an all conference player from a power 5 or something like that, they might be able to start at UK next season. I know that’s not highly likely, but you never know.Cal is going to have a tough time crushing it in the portal.
Unless Ugo leaves, we don’t have a single starting spot to offer a transfer. It’s not necessarily a bad problem to have but the best transfers aren’t looking to sign up for a role off the bench.
I can totally see that. I’m excited af about him, Shep and hopefully Dilly!Leach had a guest on the other day who was talking about how many think Wagner went through some burnout last summer.
Had led team through HS year all the way to state title. Went straight to Team USA activities and then AAU circuit.
Definitely just need everyone to announce whether they’re staying or going so a plan can be made on who to go after in the portal.Agreed. However, it depends on who said transfer is.

He is good, but let’s not do this to ourselves again. Let’s wait and see these freshman actually play games that matter before we make any quick opinions about the.
Yeah, man. We REALLY need to cash in on this NIL regarding transfers. I know Cal is kinda stubborn in some aspects of that. He needs to lighten up, sign some dudes and fill out the roster!Definitely just need everyone to announce whether they’re staying or going so a plan can be made on who to go after in the portal.
I’ve got to imagine that there’s going to be some talented guys that can really help who are looking to cash in on NIL opportunities more than trying to get a guaranteed 30mpg.
DJ is a different animal and not comparable to recent flops like Askew. The kid's the real deal.He is good, but let’s not do this to ourselves again. Let’s wait and see these freshman actually play games that matter before we make any quick opinions about the.
100% this ^^^^ most, if not all, portal transfers are guys seeking to maximize their playing situation … it will be difficult to find productive players who are willing to share time, unfortunately.Cal is going to have a tough time crushing it in the portal.

Absolutely and no more Wheeler types. Need guys that are actually skilled and are versatile and can make shots.Agreed.
Ultimately, I think we’re going to be looking at Mintz and Sestina type guys to fill out the roster.
If Dillingham doesn’t make it, which I hope he does, then Cal could and should go all in on the best guard the portal has to offer.
He is tough for sure, but these last couple of years have now taught me to wait until they play games that matter firstDJ is a different animal and not comparable to recent flops like Askew. The kid's the real deal.
PF should be the priority in the portal. A stretch like Sestina would be great. I also like the stocky Ivy league kid they reached out to.Agreed.

Cade had told Cal he was coming. When his brother got hired that was out. Askew was just a fall back plan. More like a fell back plan.DJ is a different animal and not comparable to recent flops like Askew. The kid's the real deal.
No way have we been getting players like this guy. Cason is good but he wasn’t as good as this guy.He is tough for sure, but these last couple of years have now taught me to wait until they play games that matter first
I don’t know, Cason was forced to play lead guard, so we never really got to see Cason in the spot he should have been in.No way have we been getting players like this guy. Cason is good but he wasn’t as good as this guy.
I love Cason but all the experts no way had Cason ranked like DJ. Just really hope DJ plays great for us!!I don’t know, Cason was forced to play lead guard, so we never really got to see Cason in the spot he should have been in.
