It's been a slow start for Greg Gard and the Badgers in the transfer portal, but there are two more confirmed players the program has contacted. With seven players already leaving Wisconsin via the portal, they have a lot of work ahead to replace the likes of AJ Storr, Chucky Hepburn and others.
Duke transfer Jaden Schutt has told On3Sports that Wisconsin is one of the schools he has heard from. A former 4-star recruit, Schutt has played sparingly for the Blue Devils and entered his name into the transfer portal. Wisconsin offered him originally out of high school as well, and their interest remains. He could slide in nicely into the Badger backcourt.

USF transfer Kasean Pryor has also divulged that Wisconsin is one of the many schools who have contacted him. A good shooter for a big man and a solid shot blocker, Pryor would be a perfect addition to the Badger frontcourt, which lacked rim protection this past season.

It's probably a longshot the Badgers land either given their competition and bare bones roster, but at least they are doing their due diligence.
