An athletic forward is a must. I still think a PG and a reliable 3 pt shooting wing are needed.

I agree with Carl

Not nearly often enough, however, with the NIL $$, why recruit, expend the $ on a prima donna HS throughout the process, maybe land them, and then lose them to the highest bidder?

The way of the future when building college programs will be upperclassmen, euro, then HS sprinkled in imo. Can't see it going back to the good old days of blue bloods and the "lesser" schools going to war over a HS phenom. Hell it is rumored that AJ Dymansta the stud this year going to BYU has a package deal for around 7 million??? Crazy times.

I remember KNOWING exactly when the Street & Smith/Sporting News/Petersons would come out and scour the Top 100-250 +, way before Athlon/Lindy's  and SLAM magazines ever showed up.

Agree we are really lacking in guard play and shooters at this point.

Technically we have 5 slots open I think with Riley/KJ going, plus the increase in players available. I would think we will go 12 deep total, so 2 more 3 if Ben H doesn't return.

HEAVY lean towards long wingspanned guards with "elite" practice ability shooting...probably near 40% for sure. LOL

I know we have time and open slots but this projected roster is overall a below average slow Wisconsin team without a true scorer, shooters, or ballhandlers.

He has got a long list of contacts already. Not sold on this one even for the bench, which with how many are trying to get him, why take a bench role?
