Welcome to the unofficial online tavern of the Wisconsin Badgers. Please seat yourself.
The Wisconsin Badgers announced on Tuesday morning that they have formally launched the search for their next Athletic Director. Interim Chancellor Eric Wilcots, who is currently in place for outgoing Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin, is leading the search for the next Athletic Director. “Wisconsin Athletics plays a vital role in the life of our campus and […]
The Wisconsin Badgers were set to have a tough offseason this year. Following the season, they were faced with tough financial decisions regarding their stars John Blackwell and Nolan Winter, which ultimately led to the former’s departure. They also had to replace departing seniors Nick Boyd, Andrew Rohde, and Braeden Carrington, while it proved to […]
The Wisconsin Badgers underwent a major transformation this offseason after the departures of Nick Boyd and John Blackwell, hitting both the overseas pool and the transfer portal to add experience to the roster. The first domino fell when Australian point guard Owen Foxwell committed to the program, giving Wisconsin a 22-year-old guard with starting experience […]
May 1st marked the 9th annual Garding Against Cancer Event, as Wisconsin Badgers head coach Greg Gard and his wife Michelle hosted over 600 people at the Kohl Center to support and recognize the Garding Against Cancer initiative that has done tremendous work across the state of Wisconsin. Gard, who spent time with the media […]
The 2026 NBA Draft lottery concluded on Sunday afternoon, and it included a couple of big nuggets, with several teams moving up and down the board, which also involved the Indiana Pacers ceding the No. 5 pick to the Los Angeles Clippers. With the draft order now set, mock drafts are flowing as players continue […]
It’s important to start things off by letting you know that I believe Wisconsin Badgers head coach Greg Gard to be an imperfect college basketball coach. While there may still be room left for growth (see, March), it’s hard to imagine him reaching elite status as Bo Ryan (eventually) did. But with that said, it’s not rationally disputable that […]
The Wisconsin Badgers were a top contender for four-star in-state forward Donovan Davis, but the 2027 recruit committed to the Iowa State Cyclones earlier this week. Davis had long been linked to Iowa State, which was the perceived favorite in his recruitment for some time, but the Badgers were in that final mix alongside Nebraska, […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are starting the season off with a thriller in 2026, as they’ll face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Lambeau Field in Week 1. Well, now we have a kickoff time, and it makes the matchup even better. The Badgers are slated to start the season on primetime, getting a 6:30 p.m. […]
The Wisconsin Badgers have been heavily involved with several of the top in-state prospects in the 2027 class. Among them is top-40 senior Donovan Davis, who is considered a high four-star recruit in the class. Davis, a 6’7, 200-pound forward from Kaukana, Wisconsin, has steadily risen in the 2027 class, and the Badgers have fought […]
After striking out on a couple of their targets earlier in the cycle, the Wisconsin Badgers have quickly built up their war chest at defensive line, landing a pair of commitments this week. First came three-star Will Zaccagnino, a fast riser this spring, earlier in the week. And on Friday, three-star defensive lineman David Hill […]
After what was, by most accounts, a relatively healthy and encouraging spring for the Wisconsin Badgers, it’s a good time to take stock of what we saw and wonder if there are some projectables for this fall. Huge caveat: There is obviously still a lot of time and football to go before the season kicks off in Lambeau […]
The Wisconsin Badgers made a splash in the transfer portal on Friday, landing the No. 1 JUCO running back in the country: Julius Pope. Pope, a 6’0, 195-pound running back, was considered the No. 1 JUCO running back and the No. 24 overall JUCO prospect, according to 247Sports, and comes to Wisconsin after a season […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are losing some major production this offseason, as stars Nick Boyd and John Blackwell will be playing elsewhere next season. Boyd, a senior this year, will be looking to make his dreams come true in the NBA, while Blackwell, who is testing the NBA Draft waters, committed to play for Duke. Well, […]
One of the quicker risers in the 2027 class over the past month was Connecticut defensive lineman Will Zaccagnino, who picked up 11 offers since the start of March. Well, on Thursday, he committed to the Wisconsin Badgers, who offered the defensive lineman on March 6th. Zaccagnino, ranked a three-star recruit by 247Sports, had quickly […]
Spring ball is officially over for the Wisconsin Badgers, who held their 15th and final practice on Wednesday, capping off an eventful month where we got to see an early look at Wisconsin’s new-look team. Of course, all eyes were on the quarterbacks, as Wisconsin brought in three new faces to lead the room in […]
The last few years have not gone as expected for the Wisconsin Badgers, who had their worst season as a program since 1990 this past season, going 4-8 on the year. But there is room for more optimism this season, as Wisconsin splurged in the transfer portal to create a better roster this offseason, upgrading […]
The Wisconsin Badgers got another commitment in their 2027 recruiting class on Monday morning when three-star safety D.J. Davis announced his commitment to the program. Davis, a 6’2, 175-pound athlete from Delaware, was a standout receiver and defensive back for Middletown, but the Badgers envision him as a safety, making him the second commitment at […]
In a robust 2027 recruiting effort that has already seen a number of big-time, in-state commitments, Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers kept the momentum going Friday by landing Jack Sorgi, a 6’4, 205-pound quarterback from Tri-West High School in suburban Indianapolis. Yes, Sorgi is a Badger legacy as his pops was a gunslinger for Barry […]
The Wisconsin Badgers didn’t see any of their players selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, but there was one former player who did see his name called: wide receiver C.J. Williams. Williams, who transferred to Stanford this past season, was taken with the No. 203 pick in the sixth round by the Jacksonville Jaguars. As […]
In a surprise, the Wisconsin Badgers didn’t see a single player drafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, with edge rusher Mason Reiger not being picked up despite it being a weaker overall class. Reiger, a 6’5, 250-pound senior, had a resurgent season in 2025 after missing all of the 2024 season at Louisville due to […]
This season, all eyes will be on Old Dominion transfer quarterback Colton Joseph, who was the prized possession of the transfer portal for the Wisconsin Badgers this offseason. Joseph, a 6’2, 205-pound dual-threat quarterback, seemed like a quality fit in offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes’s offense as a signal-caller who could make a difference with his […]
The Wisconsin Badgers got some unfortunate news earlier in spring ball, as Emerson Mandell suffered a lower-body injury that required a minor procedure, keeping him out for the rest of the spring. Mandell was seen in a walking boot over the last week of practices, and should be ready for the fall. In his presence, […]
The Wisconsin Badgers saw their administration shaken up a bit last week, as Athletic Director Chris McIntosh abruptly left for a role at the Big Ten. As a result, Marcus Sedberry was named the interim Athletic Director. Sedberry had previously held a few roles at Wisconsin, serving as Deputy Athletic Director, Chief Operating Officer, and […]
The Wisconsin Badgers women’s basketball team has done some serious damage in the transfer portal so far. Their latest addition? Southern Conference (SoCon) Player of the Year Caia Elisaldez, whom the team officially signed on Thursday. Elisaldez, a 5’5 junior guard, spent the last three seasons at Chattanooga, where she saw considerable growth year-by-year. As […]
The Wisconsin Badgers have been hitting gold in their 2027 class with the in-state recruits. Now, they’ve finally got their first out-of-state commit in the cycle, and it’s a big one: four-star quarterback Jack Sorgi. Sorgi is the son of former Wisconsin quarterback Jim Sorgi, who played for the Badgers from 2000-03 before being selected […]
