Report: Five-star in-state SF Kon Knueppel sets date for official visit to Wisconsin

Knueppel will be on campus later this fall:

Wisconsin is still in the running for five-star 2024 small forward Kon Knueppel, or at least that’s what the latest news indicates.

Evan Flood of 247Sports reported yesterday that the Milwaukee, Wisconsin native will visit Madison on September 12, figuring to give Greg Gard and the Badgers program another shot at landing his commitment.

Knueppel is 247Sports’ No. 22 player in the class of 2024, No. 9 small forward and No. 1 recruit from the state of Wisconsin. He has offers from top programs across the sport, including Duke, Virginia, Iowa, Illinois, Miami and Michigan State.

The fall will be a busy time for the highly-coveted recruit as he has visits planned to Alabama, Duke, Virginia, Stanford and Notre Dame in that time.

Gard’s already-stellar 2024 class will rise into the nation’s top five it he is able to land Knueppel. Winning this recruiting battle would go a long way toward constructing the most talented roster the Wisconsin program has had in some time.
