Madison, Wis. — Greg Gard and his coaching staff will have a significant prospect on campus for an official visit this coming weekend – 2024 four-star point guard Daniel Freitag out of Bloomington, Minnesota.
Per the 247Sports Composite, he’s the No. 53 overall prospect in the 2024 recruiting class, the No. 8 PG in the country, and the No. 1 player in Minnesota.
Wisconsin was the first Power 5 program to offer 2024-point guard Daniel Freitag a scholarship after their advanced camp in June 2021. Since then, the Minnesota native has picked up offers from Baylor, Iowa, Iowa State, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Virginia.
“He [Coach Gard] sees me making an impact for the team immediately and believes I can lead the team at the guard position,” Freitag said in a previous interview with BadgersWire. “He seems to have a lot of trust in me, and I like that.”
Freitag, a four-star prospect, has everything you could want from a point guard. Good size, physicality, well-above-average athleticism, playmaking ability, and toughness. He can also slash, play above the rim, and shoot from beyond the arc. In short, he’s the total package.
