According to a report from Evan Flood of 247Sports, three-star forward Nolan Winter will take an official visit to Wisconsin beginning on August 3.
Per 247Sports, Winter is the No. 44 PF in the country and the No. 2 player in Minnesota.
The 6-foot-11, 190-pound forward currently holds offers from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Stanford, Xavier, Oregon State, St. Thomas, and Wake Forest.
“The staff at Wisconsin sees me in a stretch-four type of role, and they often compare me to Jon Leuer back in the day. Someone who can shoot from the outside, get into the paint, and use my size to my advantage in multiple ways,” said Winter.
Along with strong academics, the Lakeville, Minnesota native is looking for a competitive program with an established culture, winning tradition, and a great relationship with the coaching staff.
It’s easy to see Winter’s potential fit within a program like UW, given their success utilizing inside-out big men with similar skill sets.
The three-star forward has already taken official visits to Oregon State and Stanford.
