Wisconsin lands a commitment from 2023 four-star C Gus Yalden

Wisconsin lands their second commitment in the 2023 recruiting class:

Coming off a visit to UW, 2023 four-star center Gus Yalden out of Asheville, North Carolina has officially committed to Wisconsin. 

This is a full-circle commitment for head coach Greg Gard, who made Yalden his first offer in the 2023 recruiting class for the Badgers back in July of 2020. 

The 6-foot-8, 240-pound center chose to play for his home-state Badgers over offers from Nebraska, Rutgers, College of Charleston, and a host of other power five programs. 

Per 247Sports, Yalden is the nation’s No. 12 ranked center in the class of 2023 and the No. 93 ranked player in the country. 

As a junior, he averaged 17.4 points and nearly 7.0 rebounds a game for Asheville School in North Carolina. You can watch his highlights here. 

Gusbus gives the Badgers a stretch big man that has a strong inside-out presence, impressive footwork in the low-post, high basketball IQ, and passes the ball at an extremely high level. 

Yalden is now the second commitment in the 2023 recruiting class, joining combo-guard John Blackwell.
