Mark Pope has some significant work to do to rebuild Kentucky's roster.

Freshman point guard D.J. Wagner entered the transfer portal Monday, according to multiple reports, continuing an exodus of five-star talent from Lexington in the aftermath of head coach John Calipari's departure for Arkansas.

Wagner joined the Wildcats last season as a McDonald's All-American and top-10 recruit. He was projected as a potential one-and-done prospect, but will likely remain in college after a disappointing freshman campaign failed to cement his status as an NBA prospect.

Wagner joins two teammates reportedly in the transfer portal alongside a handful of incoming freshmen who have re-opened their recruitment.
