Wisconsin Badgers fans woke up to quite the news on Monday, April 6 when John Blackwell announced he'd be entering the transfer portal.

Wisconsin Badgers fans woke up to quite the news on Monday, April 6. ESPN's Jeff Borzello reported that star point guard John Blackwell would be entering the transfer portal while also going through the NBA draft process. Blackwell is fresh off a career year with the Badgers.

He was second on the team with his 19. 1 points per game, also adding 5. 1 rebounds and 2.

3 assists. Unsurprisingly, Badgers fans aren't happy. On top of that, Wisconsin is stuck watching Michigan play in the National Championship game, a team the Badgers beat in Ann Arbor, Michigan, three months ago.

Sad that Wisconsin can consistently develop ELITE talent every year but can’t retain them because blue bloods will pay 6 million dollars for our players. Another Wisconsin developed player gone. Sad.
