It’s looking like a two-team race for 2021 Badger basketball target Julian Roper as his commitment date nears

The Badger target has his commitment coming up in the next few days, and it looks like he is down to two schools

A prospect that Wisconsin has targeted for months is making an announcement regarding his future in the next few days. 2021 SG Julian Roper is reportedly announcing his decision on May 4 according to Endless Motor Sports.

Roper has a link to the Badgers through his high school teammate Lorne Bowman. Bowman is a PG signee in Wisconsin’s 2020 class.

Despite the graphic that shows a plethora of schools in contention for Roper’s services, the three-star guard is heavily considering two places above the rest according to the 247sports predictive model.

Currently, after months of the 247sports ‘crystal ball’ predicting Roper will land with the Badgers, the prediction has flipped to Northwestern. It seems to be a two-team race between UW and Northwestern. The Michigan native took visits to both schools, touring Madison this past November and Northwestern this past October. Circle May 4 on your calendars as a 2021 class that already includes three four-stars in PG Chucky Hepburn, PF Matthew Mors, and PF Chris Hodges could get even better.
