Podcast appearances and mentions of John Calipari

DJ Wagner has lived his entire life in the shadow of a name that carries weight in basketball circles. His grandfather, Milt Wagner, was a Louisville legend. His father, Dajuan Wagner, was a star at Memphis under John Calipari. Now at Arkansas, DJ is writing his own story—one built on family, competition, and an unwavering drive to win. In this conversation with Matt Zimmerman, DJ reflects on the lessons he's learned from his dad and granddad, and how their influence shaped his approach to the game. He shares how his mom might be the most competitive member of the family, what it was like growing up in the basketball hotbed of New Jersey, and how playing for Coach Cal connects him to his family's history while pushing him toward his own future. From the pressures of being one of the nation's top recruits to the mindset shift of “killer be killed” when he steps on the court, DJ opens up about the balance between humility and confidence, and the responsibility of carrying a name that means so much in the sport. This is the story of how DJ Wagner is honoring his past while proving he's ready to create his own legacy in Razorback red. ---- The full video version of this episode is available exclusively on HogsPlus.com Follow us on social media!

READ - CBS NBA Draft Prospect Rankings : https://www.cbssports.com/nba/draft/prospect-rankings/ With less than a week until the NBA Draft, there's less clarity than ever. So with GP on vacation, we pull in Adam Finklestein to answer any NBA Draft related question. 00:00 - Start 02:35 - Quality of 2025 NBA Draft Class. 07:55 - Top-100 Prospects that we're higher or lower on than the consensus 21:58 - Stephen from Virginia asks: Where's the highest VJ Edgecombe could get drafted? Could he go number 2? 23:14 - Why Not Let It Fly wants to know what the Spurs are doing at 14 25:40 - Eric Deaner asks: As a sixers fan, what do you think they do at #3? I know this is a loaded question with the embiid situation, but I think Maluach and Knueppel would be great fits. Do you think someone like Tre Johnson has a higher ceiling than Jared McCain who's already on the roster? 31:05 - Marcus asks: If the Hornets don't move back, where do they go with the 4th pick? 33:44 - Frank Whitehead asks: Seems like Carter Bryant's stock has only gone up since the season ended. What's the highest he could go, and what team would be the best fit for his development? 38:50 - An Arkansas fan asks: Do you think that Adou Therio will keep John Calipari's streak of first round picks going? 40:57 - Xavier fan Joe: If your son was borderline 1st/2nd round pick would you advise him to stay in school for NIL guarantee 43:23 - Truett in Durham writes: I'm loving the Pacers' success this year, while also lamenting the Hoosiers' lack thereof. What could (and maybe should) IU athletic administrators/coaching staff learn? 46:28 - Kris Karns muses think it would be an interesting conversation and exercise to look back at the upperclassman who came out who fell to late first or even second round picks? 51:45 - Dan Weiner asks: Do the Hawks take two bites of the apple or should they try and package their picks and trade up? 52:44 - CGWami asks: With the transfer portal creating greater incentive for NCAA programs to collect/rent/retain more refined talent, has it become tougher for NBA scouts to find & evaluate potential projects (beyond the known freshmen)? With NCAA rosters shrinking, what's the best path for “projects” to develop? 55:00 - Andy Thompson asks: Where do you guys stand on Ryan Kalkbrenner's draft stock? Have seen so many varying opinions over the past few weeks and think he's one of the most undervalued prospects this year 59:05 - Thomas Dowdle wants to know: Second round prospect with most long term upside?

The Knicks' firing of Thibs is the top story, with Johnnie Bryant emerging as the leading candidate to replace him. Patrick Ewing was mentioned by a caller, but his past coaching struggles were highlighted. Reactions to Thibs' firing varied, with BT & Sal having opposing takes, Kendrick Perkins defending Thibs, and Chris Russo expressing anger at the Knicks' decision. The conversation also touched on James Dolan's history of paying coaches no longer with the team, and Thibs' unstarted 3-year extension. In sports updates, the Yankees beat the Guardians with Jazz Chisholm hitting a homer and Devin Williams securing the save. The Mets lost to the Dodgers in extra innings due to a Brandon Nimmo misplay. The segment concluded with more Knicks coaching discussions, including Boomer's belief that John Calipari would be interested in the role despite his past NBA struggles.

Hour 1 After the Knicks fired coach Thibs, Gio initially sought a positive but ultimately expressed strong disapproval. Boomer, believing something is amiss "behind the scenes," feels let down as a fan, fearing a step backward next season and demanding an explanation from the organization. Stephen A. Smith criticized Leon Rose for the firing and avoiding the media. The Yankees beat the Guardians with Jazz Chisholm and Volpe hitting homers. The Mets lost to the Dodgers in 10 innings after a Max Muncy homer and Brandon Nimmo's misplay. Juan Soto also homered. Phil Simms stated he doesn't deserve Hall of Fame induction. Johnnie Bryant is rumored as a potential replacement for Thibs. Hour 2 Further discussion centered on the Knicks firing Thibs, with Gio arguing it's a roster, not a coaching, issue. Calls flooded in regarding the Knicks and Thibs, with one comparing the coaching search to electing a new Pope. Jalen Brunson notably dismissed a reporter's question about Thibs' potential firing. Mike Francesa and Maddog Russo had opposing views on the firing. In MLB, the Yankees beat the Guardians with back-to-back homers from Jazz Chisholm and Ben Rice, while the Mets lost to the Dodgers in extras despite a late lead, with a Max Muncy homer and a Brandon Nimmo misplay deciding it. Boomer, referencing WFAN's instant reactions, questioned the fate of the remaining coaching staff, including Jalen Brunson's father, Rick Brunson, who is currently an assistant coach. Hour 3 The Knicks' firing of Thibs is the top story, with Johnnie Bryant emerging as the leading candidate to replace him. Patrick Ewing was mentioned by a caller, but his past coaching struggles were highlighted. Reactions to Thibs' firing varied, with BT & Sal having opposing takes, Kendrick Perkins defending Thibs, and Chris Russo expressing anger at the Knicks' decision. The conversation also touched on James Dolan's history of paying coaches no longer with the team, and Thibs' unstarted 3-year extension. In sports updates, the Yankees beat the Guardians with Jazz Chisholm hitting a homer and Devin Williams securing the save. The Mets lost to the Dodgers in extra innings due to a Brandon Nimmo misplay. The segment concluded with more Knicks coaching discussions, including Boomer's belief that John Calipari would be interested in the role despite his past NBA struggles. Hour 4 Yusef joined us and identified the Lombardi Trophy, discussed oven-baked ribs and sheep prices in Morocco. A caller suggested Stephon Marbury for coaching. Jerry's update included the return of the 'Gay Mets'. Kendrick Perkins commented on Thibs' firing, and Stephen A. Smith criticized Leon Rose. A Mike & The Mad Dog hypothetical on Rose/Dolan was played. The Mets lost due to Nimmo's error, while the Yankees won. Frank The Tank complained about noise at Dodger Stadium. Gio found the Bin Laden documentary and 'The Tylenol Murders' interesting.

We'll spend the first hour talking about the Pacers closing out the Cavs, a lot of similarities between the Cavs and Grizzlies, Haliburton talking trash to Ty Jerome and why he did it, Max Strus' text to teammates, Indiana's wings (3:00) and then we'll go into the all-time Game 5 we saw last night with the Thunder and Nuggets, Jokic's performance for the ages, nobody else for Denver making a shot in the 4th quarter, Westbrook's airballs, Lu Dort finally making some threes, Chet Holmgren's defense late and SGA closing it out in the final 2 minutes (19:04).We have receipts of Devin praising Cooper Flagg....a big 180 turn from how he talked about the #1 pick yesterday (34:22).John Calipari returning to Memphis???

On today's show, Pat, AJ Hawk, and the boys chat last night's two play in games that saw Alabama State beat St. Francis on a hailmary buzzer beater in the first game, and North Carolina beat the hell out of San Diego St. in the second game in a result that surprised absolutely no one after all the controversy of them getting into the tournament field.

Later, 3x Super Bowl Champion, current GM of the North Carolina Tar Heels, Michael Lombardi joins the show to chat about all the happenings during free agency, when a GM would need to know Aaron Rodgers' decision by, his thoughts on the JFK files, why UNC ultimately decided to pass on the offseason Hard Knocks, and much more. Make sure to subscribe to youtube.com/thepatmcafeeshow or watch on ESPN (12-2 EDT), ESPN's Youtube (12-3 EDT), or ESPN+.
