Wisconsin’s class of 2025 currently ranks No. 15 in the nation with one player committed — three-star SG Zach Kinziger. The program finished the 2024 cycle with a class led by top point guard Daniel Freitag, and is looking for another high-impact class.
Greg Gard and his staff are also still busy in the transfer portal looking for talent and depth in the front court. It recently saw JUCO transfer center Noah Boyde commit to LSU, though is still in the running for former Georgia C Frank Anselem-Ibe and others.
