Wisconsin basketball recruiting: 2021 wing includes UW on his cut down list

Recruiting is the lifeblood of any major college athletics team, but following it closely as a fan can sometimes be difficult and can often be time consuming. We’ll try and condense all the recruiting news you can use into this bi-weekly (or more often since we are in Uncertain Times and there aren’t actual sports going on) post. It’ll include updates on current commits, including stats from their high school games, as well as news on players the Badgers are still pursuing. Let’s get down to business!

Badgers make cut down list

• 2021 3-star wing James Graham (Milwaukee) out of Nicolet High School announced his top-nine schools on Monday night via his Twitter account. If you can’t watch the video in the embedded tweet, his other eight schools besides the Wisconsin Badgers are Marquette, Auburn, Georgetown, Michigan State, Florida State, Maryland, Memphis and Vanderbilt.

Graham has over 20 offers and is now focusing on just nine schools as he heads into his senior season. He is currently playing grassroots basketball with Wisconsin Playground Club and had a pretty big weekend at the Prep Hoops Midwest Showdown.

We’ll have more on Graham and other Wisconsin targets from over the weekend in a post later this week.
