On Sunday, Greg Gard and his coaching staff received a preferred walk-on commitment from 2022 wing Ross Candelino of Ponte Vedra, Florida.
The 6-foot-5, 190-pound lefty shooting guard accepted a PWO spot from the Badgers over a Division one scholarship offer from American University of the Patriot League.
Per MaxPreps, Candelino averaged 14.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.2 assists as a senior for Ponte Vedra High School. You can watch his highlights here.
Candelino is now the third commitment in the 2022 recruiting class, joining fellow PWO Luke Haertle and scholarship shooting guard Connor Essegian.
All glory goes to God! Blessed and excited to announce that I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Thank you to all my family, friends, coaches and teammates that have helped me along the way. Ready to work! @BadgerMBB pic.twitter.com/BVbx8kiReQ
