There is good reason to be excited about Wisconsin basketball’s 2020 class of five signees and one preferred walk-on. With four-star recruit Ben Carlson, and four three star recruits, the 2020 class is one of the deepest classes in Badger history.
The Big Ten recently had a recruiting shockwave sent through the conference when the number one ranked player in the state of North Carolina (according to 247sports) Isaiah Todd decided to decommit from Michigan and sign with the brand new NBA G-League select squad.
The Wolverines previously had the number one 2020 class in the conference, and even after losing Todd still retain the top spot in terms of the 247sports composite rankings. With three four-star signees each, Michigan and Indiana are the most top-heavy classes in terms of recruiting rankings. Currently, the 247sports class calculator sees the Badgers 2020 class as the third-best in the conference.
According to the 2020 recruiting rankings done by 247sports, there are currently no five-star players in the 2020 Big Ten recruiting classes. With Wisconsin returning five seniors who were all major contributors in 2019-20, and bringing in a top-three Big Ten class, expectations are justifiably high for the 2020-21 Badgers.
