The Badgers are still looking for a final piece in their class of 2021. The latest Wisconsin offer comes from current 2021 Badger commit Chucky Hepburn’s home in Nebraska. The Badgers extended an offer to 2021 five-star combo guard Hunter Sallis last night.

Sallis is the top player in Nebraska according to 247Sports. He currently holds offers from Gonzaga, Nebraska, Kansas, Louisville, UCLA and others. Hepburn has already been recruiting Sallis via Twitter. The two grew up together in Nebraska and have been competing for years on the hardwood.

Although Wisconsin basketball does not usually go after five-star prospects, the Badgers seem to have a legitimate shot at Sallis thanks to Hepburn’s connections.
