Set to participate in the offseason All-American event will be five-star guard DJ Wagner, five-star guard Robert Dillingham, and five-star wing Justin Edwards. Wagner and Dillingham will play for Team Loyalty while Edwards will suit up for Team Honor.
A fourth Kentucky signee, five-star center Aaron Bradshaw, was also named to the roster but ultimately did not make the trip. UK’s fifth signee, four-star guard Reed Sheppard, who played in the McDonald’s All-American Game earlier this month, was not selected for this event.

Ahead of Saturday’s main event, there were the “Iverson Games” on Thursday, which included a dunk contest, 3-point shootout, and more. Wagner even won the 3-point contest, making 16 of 25 shots in his round. He was also one of the stars during that day’s practice sessions. Friday’s schedule features another practice session.
Dillingham, who will play alongside Wagner in Saturday’s All-American Game, had his moments during practice, too.
