Freitag is currently ranked as the No. 114 overall player in the class of 2024, No. 10 point guard and No. 2 recruit from the state of Minnesota. He is Wisconsin’s top-ranked player in the class and figures to make an impact from day one.
He is the centerpiece of a Wisconsin recruiting class that currently ranks No. 57 in the nation with only Freitag and three-star shooting guard Jack Robinson committed.

Greg Gard and his staff will have more work to do this offseason to bolster the roster and set the Badgers up to snap the now seven-year Sweet Sixteen drought. But the program does appear to be set in the backcourt entering 2024-25, even with young guard Connor Essegian entered the transfer portal Sunday evening. Chucky Hepburn, John Blackwell, A.J. Storr, Max Klesmit and Freitag could create the program’s most exciting, and athletic, backcourt in decades.
