Heading into next year, the Badgers are losing Nick Boyd, Andrew Rohde, Braeden Carrington, and Isaac Gard to eligibility. They’re also going to be without John Blackwell, Aleksas Bieliauskas, Jack Robison, and Riccardo Greppi, who all entered the transfer portal this month. That leaves seven open roster spots for Wisconsin to fill, and the Badgers have gotten to work.
Wisconsin had a busy week last week, landing three transfers, and they brought in another player on Wednesday with the addition of in-state freshman guard Josh Manchester. With the roster slowly starting to unfold, let’s look at the updated roster for the Badgers and see what else is left to do this offseason.

So, the Badgers have room to add one or two more players. When it comes to rotational pieces, I don’t know that Wisconsin looks to add much more there, especially with their sophomores ready for expanded roles this season. So, where could Wisconsin look to add?
