(LEARFIELD) – Junior forward Austin Rapp says he will return to the Badgers next season.
The 22-year-old from Australia joins Nolan Winter to give Wisconsin a strong frontcourt.
With nine players on the roster, coach Greg Gard has to fill six openings.
He and program recruiters are probably looking for guards.
There’s also the potential for young players like Hayden Jones and Zach Kinziger to develop into solid starters.
New athletic director search: The University of Wisconsin is opening a nationwide search for an athletic director to replace Chris McIntosh.
Sports Illustrated reports three good candidates for the important job are NIU athletic director Sean Frazier, Illinois athletic director Josh Whitman, and Wisconsin’s current interim AD Marcus Sedberry.
Frazier has strong Wisconsin ties and is the former Chief of Staff for Barry Alvarez.
It might be difficult to get Whiteman to leave his alma mater in Champaign.
Sedberry is already in place and has a lot of support in Madison.
