    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Last fall, Dajuan Wagner had major surgery to remove his colon and replace it with a new one. He is now on the road to recovery and is looking dominant in the Cherry Hill League.

    "I've called three [NBA] clubs right now to tell them to send somebody down there," John Calipari said. "If he's back to that, there are teams out there that love guards that can score. They're not worried about defense. They're worried about points on the board. Well, he'll do that. There's no question he'll do it."

    "I kept fighting," Wagner said. "If I were a lot of people, I would have quit, but I ain't no quitter. I'll be back."

    Wagner figures he will get into a couple of NBA camps. If not there, he has feelers from overseas, including one from Maccabi Tel Aviv.</div>

    I never knew what happened to him, one of those guys who just vanished off the face of the earth pretty much.

    Another year or two of college certainly wouldn't have hurt Wagner any. I'm still shocked he hasn't transformed into a better professional yet. I figured he would after a year or two of struggling. Then again, the injury bug hasn't helped either.

    Still, it ticks me off when guys leave college when they just aren't ready for the next level.
