Wisconsin basketball was listed among the final five schools for top class of 2025 center Tommy Ahneman on Tuesday.
Big Ten rivals Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota, plus Notre Dame, round out his top five.
Ahneman dropped his final list just eight days after releasing his first four official visits for this fall. The rising senior will travel to Madison, Wisconsin for an official visit the weekend of Sept. 14 — the same date as four-star SF Amari Allen and four-star SG Davion Hannah.
Importantly, Sept. 14 is the day that Wisconsin football hosts Alabama at Camp Randall Stadium. With three top-ranked hoops prospects slated to visit, Greg Gard and his staff are looking to capitalize on an exciting time around the athletic department.
