Welcome to the unofficial online tavern of the Wisconsin Badgers. Please seat yourself.
The 2026 NBA Draft Combine is underway this week, and the Wisconsin Badgers saw both of their former star guards in attendance, as Nick Boyd and John Blackwell both looked to compete and raise their draft stock. Players took their measurements and underwent a variety of drills, but the biggest part of the week was […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are continuing forward in their 2027 class, with the latest commitment being linebacker Keaton Wollan, a three-star recruit hailing from Amery, Wisconsin. Wollan, who stands 6’2, 210 pounds, had seen his recruitment start to take off this spring. The Texas Tech Red Raiders were his first reported offer, according to 247Sports, offering […]
Following a strong run in the Big Ten Tournament, the Wisconsin Badgers are heading to the NCAA Tournament, drawing the Baylor Bears in the first round of the Austin Regional. Wisconsin, which finished the season with a 32-19 record, enters as the No. 2 seed in the regional, and will take on the 28-26 Bears […]
The Big Ten revealed every team’s home and away conference opponents for the 2026-27 season on Tuesday evening, and the Wisconsin Badgers have quite the schedule for next year. Wisconsin will bring five ranked opponents (from the final AP Top 25 poll) to the Kohl Center next year, including three top-10 opponents. In addition, they […]
As the college basketball world continues to evolve, there’s been one major question surrounding the Wisconsin Badgers: Are they competitive enough in NIL? Head coach Greg Gard and his staff have done a great job of raising resources, but NIL budgets across the country are getting substantially bigger, raising the prices of the market. With […]
The Wisconsin Badgers had quite an eventful transfer portal cycle this offseason, starting off with Australian point guard Owen Foxwell before landing George Washington guard Trey Autry, Miami (OH) wing Eian Elmer, and Hofstra center Victory Onuetu to round out their roster. It was a slower start for Wisconsin, which had a quieter first week […]
The Wisconsin Badgers announced on Tuesday morning that they have formally launched the search for their next Athletic Director. Interim Chancellor Eric Wilcots, who is currently in place for outgoing Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin, is leading the search for the next Athletic Director. “Wisconsin Athletics plays a vital role in the life of our campus and […]
The Wisconsin Badgers were set to have a tough offseason this year. Following the season, they were faced with tough financial decisions regarding their stars John Blackwell and Nolan Winter, which ultimately led to the former’s departure. They also had to replace departing seniors Nick Boyd, Andrew Rohde, and Braeden Carrington, while it proved to […]
The Wisconsin Badgers underwent a major transformation this offseason after the departures of Nick Boyd and John Blackwell, hitting both the overseas pool and the transfer portal to add experience to the roster. The first domino fell when Australian point guard Owen Foxwell committed to the program, giving Wisconsin a 22-year-old guard with starting experience […]
May 1st marked the 9th annual Garding Against Cancer Event, as Wisconsin Badgers head coach Greg Gard and his wife Michelle hosted over 600 people at the Kohl Center to support and recognize the Garding Against Cancer initiative that has done tremendous work across the state of Wisconsin. Gard, who spent time with the media […]
The 2026 NBA Draft lottery concluded on Sunday afternoon, and it included a couple of big nuggets, with several teams moving up and down the board, which also involved the Indiana Pacers ceding the No. 5 pick to the Los Angeles Clippers. With the draft order now set, mock drafts are flowing as players continue […]
It’s important to start things off by letting you know that I believe Wisconsin Badgers head coach Greg Gard to be an imperfect college basketball coach. While there may still be room left for growth (see, March), it’s hard to imagine him reaching elite status as Bo Ryan (eventually) did. But with that said, it’s not rationally disputable that […]
The Wisconsin Badgers were a top contender for four-star in-state forward Donovan Davis, but the 2027 recruit committed to the Iowa State Cyclones earlier this week. Davis had long been linked to Iowa State, which was the perceived favorite in his recruitment for some time, but the Badgers were in that final mix alongside Nebraska, […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are starting the season off with a thriller in 2026, as they’ll face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Lambeau Field in Week 1. Well, now we have a kickoff time, and it makes the matchup even better. The Badgers are slated to start the season on primetime, getting a 6:30 p.m. […]
The Wisconsin Badgers have been heavily involved with several of the top in-state prospects in the 2027 class. Among them is top-40 senior Donovan Davis, who is considered a high four-star recruit in the class. Davis, a 6’7, 200-pound forward from Kaukana, Wisconsin, has steadily risen in the 2027 class, and the Badgers have fought […]
After striking out on a couple of their targets earlier in the cycle, the Wisconsin Badgers have quickly built up their war chest at defensive line, landing a pair of commitments this week. First came three-star Will Zaccagnino, a fast riser this spring, earlier in the week. And on Friday, three-star defensive lineman David Hill […]
After what was, by most accounts, a relatively healthy and encouraging spring for the Wisconsin Badgers, it’s a good time to take stock of what we saw and wonder if there are some projectables for this fall. Huge caveat: There is obviously still a lot of time and football to go before the season kicks off in Lambeau […]
The Wisconsin Badgers made a splash in the transfer portal on Friday, landing the No. 1 JUCO running back in the country: Julius Pope. Pope, a 6’0, 195-pound running back, was considered the No. 1 JUCO running back and the No. 24 overall JUCO prospect, according to 247Sports, and comes to Wisconsin after a season […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are losing some major production this offseason, as stars Nick Boyd and John Blackwell will be playing elsewhere next season. Boyd, a senior this year, will be looking to make his dreams come true in the NBA, while Blackwell, who is testing the NBA Draft waters, committed to play for Duke. Well, […]
One of the quicker risers in the 2027 class over the past month was Connecticut defensive lineman Will Zaccagnino, who picked up 11 offers since the start of March. Well, on Thursday, he committed to the Wisconsin Badgers, who offered the defensive lineman on March 6th. Zaccagnino, ranked a three-star recruit by 247Sports, had quickly […]
Spring ball is officially over for the Wisconsin Badgers, who held their 15th and final practice on Wednesday, capping off an eventful month where we got to see an early look at Wisconsin’s new-look team. Of course, all eyes were on the quarterbacks, as Wisconsin brought in three new faces to lead the room in […]
The last few years have not gone as expected for the Wisconsin Badgers, who had their worst season as a program since 1990 this past season, going 4-8 on the year. But there is room for more optimism this season, as Wisconsin splurged in the transfer portal to create a better roster this offseason, upgrading […]
The Wisconsin Badgers got another commitment in their 2027 recruiting class on Monday morning when three-star safety D.J. Davis announced his commitment to the program. Davis, a 6’2, 175-pound athlete from Delaware, was a standout receiver and defensive back for Middletown, but the Badgers envision him as a safety, making him the second commitment at […]
In a robust 2027 recruiting effort that has already seen a number of big-time, in-state commitments, Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers kept the momentum going Friday by landing Jack Sorgi, a 6’4, 205-pound quarterback from Tri-West High School in suburban Indianapolis. Yes, Sorgi is a Badger legacy as his pops was a gunslinger for Barry […]
The Wisconsin Badgers didn’t see any of their players selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, but there was one former player who did see his name called: wide receiver C.J. Williams. Williams, who transferred to Stanford this past season, was taken with the No. 203 pick in the sixth round by the Jacksonville Jaguars. As […]
