Badger commit set to remain in MN for final HS season

Freitag announced that he will remain in his home state for his final year of high school, instead of heading to Southern California Academy

Daniel Freitag, a four-star class of 2024 guard from Bloomington, Minnesota committed to Wisconsin in early June. Freitag announced Sunday that he will remain in his home state for his final year of high school basketball, instead of heading to Southern California Academy as he’d previously declared.

Freitag will attend Breck School in Golden Valley, Minnesota in 2023-2024. When it comes to the Badgers, this is a positive result. If he were to have went out to the west coast, there’d likely have been a higher chance that he could decommit.

The 6-foot-2 two-sport athlete has also been recruited by the football team in Madison, something that he hasn’t ruled out also pursuing. As is, Freitag represents the fifth-highest rated recruit in Wisconsin men’s basketball history.

BREAKING: Four-star running back commits to Wisconsin

The Wisconsin football team added another 2024 recruit Friday, gaining the commitment of four-star running back Darrion Dupree from Chicago.

The Wisconsin football team added another 2024 recruit Friday, gaining the commitment of four-star running back Darrion Dupree from Chicago, Illinois. He’ll join the Badgers after his final year of high school football at Mount Carmel.

Dupree picked Wisconsin over the 28 Division 1 programs that offered him, including Illinois, Iowa and Michigan (amongst others) from within the Big Ten. The 5-foot-10 athlete instead opted to choose a program in Madison that churns out pro-level running backs as good as any in the country.

Luke Fickell and Phil Longo’s offense of the future appears to be coming together with Dupree and 2024 four-star quarterback Mabrey Mettauer (The Woodlands, TX) figuring to be focal points.

With Braelon Allen potentially moving on the the NFL following the 2023 campaign, the addition of Dupree is a rather impactful one.
