Camden stars D.J. Wagner and Aaron Bradshaw were named finalists for the Naismith High School Player of the Year.
Wagner, rated No. 2 by ESPN in the Class of 2023, is averaging 21.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists for Camden, which plays against Combine Academy Friday night in Frankfort, Ky.
“I have known D.J. his entire life and I’ve always wanted to coach him,” Calipari said upon Wagner’s signing. “Above all he is a competitor. He attacks the offensive end and is a versatile scorer, but he is equally as tough on defense. I love the spirit he’ll bring to practice every day, and I love that he wanted to be at Kentucky. He knows that to get the best of himself, he needs to be surrounded by other talented players who are going to match his competitive energy.
