The transfer portal drama surrounding former Kentucky Wildcat DJ Wagner has taken a turn, quite possibly away from USC and Eric Musselman. Wagner will visit John Calipari and Arkansas next weekend. CBS Sports college basketball insider Jon Rothstein got the news first.
Wagner played for Calipari last season at Kentucky. He didn’t have a great season. He showed glimpses of his potential here and there, but wasn’t consistently able to be a high-level player for the Wildcats. Rob Dillingham, Reed Sheppard and other players on Kentucky’s 2024 roster were able to reach their potential or at least came close to doing so. Wagner could not be placed in that same category. The game didn’t come as naturally to him in Lexington.
The fact that Wagner is visiting Calipari, however, suggests that Wagner and Calipari think that with another year of working together, they can both help each other. If Wagner was deeply disappointed with the coaching job Calipari did last season at Kentucky, he wouldn’t want to reunite with Cal at Arkansas. A visit to Fayetteville would be out of the question. If we’re being honest here, Wagner going to USC seems less likely, and Arkansas should be considered the favorite. follow Razorbacks Yarn for more coverage.
