Wisconsin basketball and Greg Gard made headlines this month when the program landed a commitment from four-star 2024 point guard Daniel Freitag.
Not only is Freitag the highest-ranked recruit of the Gard era, he is the fifth-highest recruit in program history. To call it a win might be underselling how big this is for Gard’s future in Madison.
Wisconsin’s class of 2024 ranks 16th nationally with Freitag and three-star small forward Jack Robison committed. They will join a large group of talented players arriving in Madison over the next few years. That group includes transfer guard A.J. Storr and a talented 2023 class of center Gus Yalden, forward Nolan Winter and guard John Blackwell.
For now, Wisconsin’s work consists of keeping Freitag committed as the 2024 cycle continues.
The four-star recruit and top-10 point guard was on campus this weekend and tweeted a first look at him in a Wisconsin Badger uniform:
