Wisconsin basketball added to their 2022 class on Monday when Badger State native Luke Haertle accepted a preferred walk-on offer to play for UW.
The 6-foot-4 guard was a high school star in both basketball and football, playing quarterback at Lake Country Lutheran. No, the tradition of high school quarterbacks playing at Wisconsin will not end when Brad Davison and Jonathan Davis leave town.
