I totally agree that the chances are super small for SU, however, D.J. has said a bunch of times in recent months that his recruitment remains open, that it's not just Louisville versus Kentucky, and that he hears consistently from other squads such as Syracuse, Arkansas, Michigan, Auburn, etc. But I acknowledge this is a huge long-shot!

I (very sad indeed) was thinking that JB's pitch should be that he started his tenure with the #1 player in the class (Pearl) and he wants to end it by coaching the #1 player in his last class.
It's a good pitch. Sadly I doubt this kid ever heard of Pearl.

NYC had billboards all over when the Pearl died.
If this kid has any basketball knowledge at all, he knows who Pearl is. That being said, he'll never suit up for Syracuse.
You would be surprised how little these kids know these days. I work with a kid who claims to be a syracuse fan. Didn't know Melo played here.

-pay side article though.
DJ is In Spain as the U17 USA team kicks off play. Mentions Kentucky(cal himself), Kansas, Duke, UCLA, USC, Louisville,TCU, and more as schools going to Spain to watch/recruit. No mention of Cuse from the three sentences I could read, nor does that surprise me. Ain’t happening, especially when schools are following kids halfway across the country and we aren’t. That’s part of the effort, work, etc people have talked about that’s lacking in our staff now.

Hoops hotbed Camden is ready for No. 1 prospect D.J. Wagner to make history
With D.J. the Wagners could become the first family with three generations of McDonald's All-Americans and NBA players.
Insightful article about Wagner...seems to be a star in the making.
Kentucky and Louisville seem to be the front-runners...wonder if the Orange still have a chance?

I know a Nike school with a million bucks to spend. Unfortunately it's not in the cards and he'll be a Wildcat.
