Vitto Brown had been on Wisconsin's radar for a couple years now and jumped back into Wisconsin's sights after appearing with his Bowling Green teammates at UW's team camp in June. The Badgers join Minnesota, Kansas State and a slew of MAC-level mid-majors that have offered the raw, athletic prospect. Prior to UW's offer, Brown's early top four list included Illinois and Butler despite those schools not offering him yet. Brown had an unofficial vist to Wisconsin on June 18 and plans to return for an official visit in the fall per his Twitter, perhaps in late August. He has run cross country all four years of high school and is the leading scorer in Bowling Green history.
