Not necessarily. Prevailing thoughts are he regressed under Cal. He arrived at Kentucky assuming he was one and done.Arkansas, no?
I don’t want to hear that phrase ever again.Real "Ferrari, sitting in the garage" potential.
Yep - Castle was #10 in the 247 rankings, Wagner was #6.He is a big two guard, and he needs a big course correction if he wants to play at next level. Pretty certain he was rated higher than Castle. If he is really committed to buying into the system he has the physical tools to play a big two guard role. I will go look not sure how he shot from three but he is solidly built. Kind of a smaller version of Stephon. He interests me and he is from NewJersey.
Wonder how much his father gets involved. Wow, I went and looked and he really struggled but I am still interested.
I could get behind a Nowell/Diarra/Ball/Wagner rotation. Got AK and Stewart starting then interchange Wagner to play some wing when either AK or Stewart is on the bench. But for that to happen Wagner would have to commit to defending and rebounding. Using his physical skills to impact the game then hopefully the offense comes as part of the flow of the offense.
Did I mention he is from Jersey?

Do we even know this kid enough to make that judgement? Or is it just the fact that he went to Kentucky?This doesnt feel like OUR guy, however youd be hard pressed to find a player with better pedigree, I would take him in a heartbeat if he wants to be coached
I read there could have been an injury involved. That would make sense. Even playing for a team as connected as UConn it took Stephon a month to get back to where he was pre injury. And that is with great teammates. If Wagner was injured can’t imagine how tough it would have been to reintegrate with that team.He had a very underperforming season- probably a lot to do with coaching- has talent & skills- needs leadership & direction to fulfill his potential.
