Wisconsin showing interest in Illinois transfer Benjamin Bosmans-Verdonk

Wisconsin has reportedly reached out to a transfer forward from a Big Ten rival:

Greg Gard and his coaching staff have been incredibly active in the transfer portal this offseason as they look to add some much needed depth to the program.

On Thursday, Jake Lieberman reported that Wisconsin was among a long list of potential suitors that had reached out to Illinois transfer forward Benjamin Bosmans-Verdonk.

The 6-foot-8, 235-pound forward appeared in 24 games for the Illini last season. In just over seven minutes per game, Bosmans-Verdonk averaged 1.6 points, and 2.1 rebounds on 47% shooting from the field.

The Belgium native has reportedly heard from Wisconsin, South Carolina, Tulsa, Virginia Tech, Arizona State, Saint Louis, Loyola Marymount, and a host of others.

Wisconsin to get a visit from Wright State transfer Grant Basile

Earlier this week, Jon Rothstein reported that Wright State transfer Grant Basile would be taking visits to four programs before making a decision on where he’ll play next season.

Among the programs named were Wisconsin, Iowa State, Notre Dame, and Virginia Tech. 

Basile is coming off an impressive junior season where he averaged 18.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 blocks per game en route to being named first-team All-Horizon League. 

The 6-foot-9, 225-pound forward is a Pewaukee, Wisconsin native, that was recruited by Badgers assistant coach Sharif Chambliss while he was at Wright State.

Basile is a versatile big man that can run the floor, protect the rim, and step out and knock down the three. 

It’s easy to see the potential fit with Wisconsin who has plenty of minutes available at forward following the departures of Chris Vogt and Ben Carlson. 

The Wright State transfer has one year of eligibility remaining.
