The Badgers have been in contact with Steele Venters, a 6-foot-7 guard from Eastern Washington after he entered the transfer portal a few days ago. Venters is looking for a new opportunity after spending the first three years of his collegiate career with the Eagles.

Venters saw his role expand with Eastern Washington over the last two years, most recently averaging 15.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 31.4 minutes per game while playing in 34 contests in 2022-2023.

With the Badgers losing Jordan Davis (transfer portal) and potentially Tyler Wahl ahead of the 2023-2024 campaign, Greg Gard could certainly use a wing option like Venters next season.

Overall, Wisconsin has remained very active on the transfer portal so far this offseason, at least when it comes to contacting available players.
