Wisconsin basketball 2021 target James Graham teases a Monday announcement

The Badger target will make an announcement on Monday

James Graham is one of the nation’s hottest recruits over the past few months, and Wisconsin has been a key player in the recruiting battle for his services. The 6-8 SF has a do-it-all game, and has been tearing up the Badger state on the club circuit after an impressive junior season at Nicolet High School in Milwaukee.

Graham teased fans on Twitter today that something was coming tomorrow.

According to multiple insiders, including 247Sports insider Evan Flood, Graham is likely cutting his list of schools down tomorrow, and the Badgers hope to be on that shortened list.

The 2021 four-star holds a number of high-major offers from the likes of Florida State, Memphis, Michigan State, and Maryland. Wisconsin jumped in on the later side with an offer on July 9, but given the in-state connection there is reason to believe that the Badgers could be in the mix if and when Graham shortens his list.
