Three-star SF Gehrig Normand sets official visit date to Wisconsin

A recently offered three-star SF has set an official visit date to Madison:

Things are continuing to move quickly between the Badgers and recently offered three-star wing Gehrig Normand out of North Richland Hills, Texas.

Evan Flood of 247Sports recently reported that Normand has scheduled three official visits in the month of June, a list that includes Missouri, Wisconsin on June 20-21, and Texas.

“I watched a lot of Wisconsin during March Madness and I always loved the way they played,” said Normand.

Per 247sports, the three-star wing is the No. 109 overall prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, the No. 20 small forward in the country, and the No. 8 player in the state of Texas.

“I’m looking for somewhere I can be as confident as possible, and a school where I can trust the coach and have them trust me so I can put a product on the floor that wins a National Championship,” Normand told BadgersWire.

The Birdville High School standout also holds offers from Colorado State, Kansas State, New Mexico, Oklahoma State, Oral Roberts, Rice, SMU, TCU, Tennessee, Xavier and a host of other schools.

Standing at 6-foot-6, 175-pounds, the Texas native is a tough, versatile scorer, who can space the floor with his three-point shooting, and also uses his size to take defenders off the dribble.

“I’m looking for somewhere I can be as confident as possible, and a school where I can trust the coach and have them trust me so I can put a product on the floor that wins a National Championship,” said Normand.

Coach Gard is in need of a true wing in the 2023 recruiting class, and has zeroed in on Jamie Kaiser and Gehrig Normand, both of which would make a ton of sense in terms of playing style.
