After impressing at the Nike EYBL Peach Jam, Greg Gard and his coaching staff extended a scholarship offer to fast-rising 2024 power forward Jesse McCulloch out of Cleveland, Ohio, on Monday.
The 6-foot-9, 190-pound forward currently holds offers from Akron, Butler, Cleveland State, Eastern Michigan, Kent State, Michigan State, Missouri, Ohio, Toledo, and Virginia Tech.
McCulloch, a standout at Lutheran East High School, is currently unranked by all reputable recruiting services but will likely see that change given the number of high-major offers he’s recently received.

The unranked big man is a lanky, stretch four with a good face-up game that can excel in both the pick, roll/pick, and pop. He also has the defensive versatility and lateral speed to switch onto guards, making him an intriguing two-way prospect for a defensive-minded coach like Gard.
The Ohio native announced his scholarship offer from the University of Wisconsin via his Twitter account:
