Friday Headlines: Wagner & Edwards named SLAM All-Americans

Future Kentucky Wildcats DJ Wagner and Justin Edwards have been named SLAM All-Americans.

SLAM released its 2023 All-Americans yesterday, which included Wagner and Edwards, along with Matas Buzelis (G League), Jared McCain (Duke), and Isaiah Collier (USC).

Wagner and Edwards, both of which are viewed as top 10 (if not Top 5) prospects, and are two of the leaders of Kentucky’s impressive 2023 recruiting class, which also features five-star center Aaron Bradshaw, four-star point guard Robert Dillingham, and four-star combo guard Reed Sheppard.

Needless to say, Kentucky fans should be excited to see these two suit up in the blue and white next season.
