Wisconsin Basketball: Stars Return, New Faces Join

0:00On April 29th Wisconsin basketball just locked in their returning players for the 20-26-27 season with stars like Nolan Winter. And Austin Rap already committed ahead of the official word, no major shocks here as the Badgers build around these guys after losing some top guards. They've added eight fresh spaces this off season and got one roster spot left to fill, but keeping talent like this is the real backbone of any college. Squallide. Winter balled out last year with double doubles, averaging 13.1 points and 8.5 boards, but now he steps up as the main. Score, without those guards crowding him. Fans are buzzing about the potential jumps from the returners, like Rap heating up from deep in March at 42%, though he needs to bulk. Up inside on defense and rebounds. Then there are 7-foot Will Garlock, who barely played but could anchor the paint if he grabs boards and swatts shots. Guys like Jack Janicki, Hayden, Jones, and Zach Kinziger saw light minutes too, so they're hungry to grow.

1:00Janicki on offense, Jones on D with his. 6-foot 7-frame, and Kinziger sharpening that sniper shot off the bench. With these pieces clicking, Wisconsin's eyeing a deeper run, banking on big strides to mesh with the new blood and chase that conference crown.
