The new Wisconsin women's basketball coach is working to keep all the best local talent at home. This last week, Pingeton extended offers to two top in-state players, both with the intention of playing the long game as they are 2028 recruits. Yes, you read that right—2028, which means they are sophomores. However, both are showing such promise for the college level that Pingeton wants to make sure Wisconsin has the first and last impression.
The first offer announced was for Lana Mannetter, a 6'0 "guard from Kenosha, Wisconsin. She's an impressive scorer who scored 35 points in the AAU Summer Jam and is starting to attract serious interest. Pingeton hopes to make a strong impact on the young guard.
Thank you @CoachPingeton for an offer to play for the Wisconsin Badgers! I'm excited to learn more about the program and culture. On Wisconsin! @BadgerWBB @WisImpact @westoshagbball pic.twitter.com/eyhFKhuJuc

2028 guard Lana Mannetter picks up a Wisconsin offer
The second offer came to Londyn Hollins from Wisconsin Lutheran High School. She's one of the hottest young players in the state, and Wisconsin may be the first, but they won't be the last to gather around Hollins's game. She's a 5'9" combo guard who shows a ton of potential.

This is great news as Pingeton works to keep the local players home. There is a ton of talent in Wisconsin, and while you can't build an entire team with only in-state players, UW should be grabbing the best of the best year in and year out.
Pingeton is known for her recruiting prowess, and it is showing why by making an early impression with local in-state talent and making sure the best players know the school in Madison wants them to play at home.
