Breaking down all 3 of Wisconsin’s additions in the transfer portal
The Badgers had quite a busy week in the portal. Let’s break it all down.

Since then, Wisconsin has landed three new players in quick succession: guard Trey Autry, center Victory Onuetu, and wing Eian Elmer.
Here’s a quick breakdown of all three. Trey Autry This one came first, and there’s a lot to like about the former George Washington shooting guard , a rising senior. The son of former Syracuse player and coach Adrian Autry, the 6’4″ Autry is responsible with the ball and can do some scoring, too, averaging 11 points per game on 43.
5 percent shooting from the field last season, including a really solid 38. 5 percent from 3-point range. He also had very Badger-like success at the free-throw line, hitting at an 81 percent clip.
The capper is the fact that GW played an up-tempo, 3-point shot-focused offense. This bodes well for a fit. Some are wondering if Autry is being brought on as a sub or starter, and my guess is, barring something unforeseen, he’ll be running with the ones next season in Madison.
