The Wisconsin basketball program has a massive few months ahead.
No, there aren’t any games scheduled. But Greg Gard’s class of 2024, which is ranked in the top 15 nationally and led by top point guard Daniel Freitag, has a few massive targets that will be wrapping up their recruiting process.
The first is five-star in-state small forward Kon Knueppel, a top-20 recruit in the class who has interest from the sport’s blue bloods.
The second is four-star power forward Jackson McAndrew. The Minneapolis, Minnesota, native is 247Sports’ No. 88 player in the class of 2024 and No. 1 recruit from his home state.
Earlier Monday, McAndrew included Wisconsin in his final four schools with Xavier, Creighton and Notre Dame.

Wisconsin’s class would challenge for the best in the country if it landed both Knueppel and McAndrew. But ranking aside, their signing would set Gard and the program up for an incredible level of success moving forward.
