Future Kentucky players DJ Wagner and Justin Edwards were named 2023 SLAM High School Boys All-Americans on Thursday.
The five All-Americans are: Wagner, Edwards, Isaiah Collier, Jared McCain and Matas Buzelis.
Here are excerpts about Wagner and Edwards:
Basketball runs in DJ Wagner’s blood. He’s the son of former Memphis one-and-done star and NBA player Dajuan Wagner, and the grandson of Louisville legend and NBA player Milt Wagner. Wagner was the NJ Gatorade Player of the Year and is a top name in the No. 1 ranked recruiting class at Kentucky
Justin Edwards has proven why he’s a top recruit with his shot making, defensive versatility and toughness as a finisher. After leading Imhotep to its second consecutive state championship, he’ll bring that winning experience to Kentucky this fall.
