Meet Addie Deal: Wisconsin Badgers' Exciting New Addition

Yahoo Sports

The Badgers women's basketball team welcomes Addie Deal, a promising 6'0" guard from Iowa, aiming to elevate their backcourt.

Wisconsin did not go into the transfer portal to find a polished backcourt star. It sought a higher-ceiling guard, and Addie Deal fits that bill. The 6-foot guard's flashes during her freshman year at Iowa only hint at what her pedigree suggests is coming.

Deal arrived from Iowa after a 2025-26 freshman season that brought All-Big Ten Freshman Team honors and two Big Ten Freshman of the Week awards. She averaged 5. 1 points, 1.

6 assists, and 1. 2 rebounds in 15. 6 minutes per game, shooting 39.

4% from the field, 29. 7% from 3-point range, and 68. 0% at the free-throw line.
