Sunday Headlines: Recruiting the EYBL Edition

Happy Sunday, BBN. Hopefully the final day of your weekend goes well. It looks to (finally) beautiful day around here. It’s been a while since we have seen some consistent sun.

The Kentucky Wildcats basketball coaching staff is in Orlando, where it’s seemingly always sunny, to recruit some of the nation’s best high school basketball talent. DJ Wagner, KJ Evans, and Justin Edwards are at the top of the watch list.

Calipari wants to make a big splash in 2023 and getting DJ Wagner would be the biggest splash. With John Scheyer getting just about anybody he wants to go to Duke right now. Calipari is playing catch up to a first time head coach and that’s not something that was expected.

Tweets of the Day

Rob Cassidy from CBS told us on Friday that the bond between Calipari and DJ’s father is rock solid. Let’s hope it stays that way.
