Three-star SG Jamie Kaiser breaks down his official visit to Wisconsin:
Less than two weeks after being offered a scholarship by Greg Gard during the spring evaluation period, fast rising shooting guard Jamie Kaiser wasted no time getting himself to Madison for an official visit.
“I took the visit so quickly because I wanted to use some of my junior officials, and I thought it was a great fit for me anyway,” Kaiser told Badgerswire.
“What stood out to me was the amount of detail in the simple things coach Gard talks about and teaches. I’m really comfortable with the staff, coach Oliver was the first one to reach out, and is the one I’m most familiar with, but I was able to get to know all the coaches on my visit.”
The three-star shooting guard was also able to meet former Badger guard Brad Davison, and current UW guard Jordan Davis on his visit.
“I was able to talk with them a lot, so that was nice. They’re just hardworking, grounded guys like me,” Kaiser said.
The Bishop Ireton High School standout’s name has been picking up steam on the recruiting trail as of late, but has been hearing the most from Harvard, George Mason, Virginia Tech, Yale, Rhode Island, Georgia Tech, and of course Wisconsin.
Standing at 6-foot-6, 200-pounds, Kaiser has excellent size out on the wing, can post up smaller defenders, and is a knockdown three-point shooter that would fit seamlessly into a program like Wisconsin. He’s also an intriguing player defensively, given his projectable frame and ability to defend multiple positions.
“They [Wisconsin] see me as an immediate impact player from my freshman year, and someone that can eventually lead a locker room in my later years,” Kaiser said.
Assistant coach Dean Oliver is acting as the lead recruiter for the three-star shooting guard, who doesn’t have a clear timeline for commitment at the moment, but made mention he would like for it to be in the fall.
Right now, Wisconsin is at or near the top of Kaiser’s list, so this is going to be an important recruitment to monitor moving forward. His fit with the program would be undeniable, at a position of need no less.
The Virginia native averaged 20.7 points and 7.1 rebounds this past season. You can watch Kaiser’s junior season highlights below:
