Wisconsin hosts top-50 recruit amid heavy competition with Florida, Marquette, others

Robin Pingeton is not messing around. She's been known to be a good recruiter, and getting one of the best players in the 2026 class and a top point guard to schedule a visit to Madison is incredible. Wisconsin will play host to KK Holman out of Fishers, Indiana. She's one of the most impressive players in the 2026 class. She's also scheduled visits to Florida, Arizona State, and Marquette.

Could Wisconsin pull off an upset and get KK Holman to commit?

Holman is a top-50-rated recruit in the 2026 class, and she's considered a fast riser, making her more likely to move up that list. It shows that the programs that are hovering around are some of the biggest teams in women's hoops, not just Florida, Marquette, and Arizona State. She's known to have interest from Louisville, Villanova, Illinois, and Oregon, among others.

College women's basketball writer Shivani Menon said this about Holman, "Holman is the biggest recruiting name going into 2026. She is a point guard out of Hamilton Southeastern High in Fishers, Indiana. Her court vision is bringing in the big coaching names."

While she is known for her court vision, she can also take over a game. She can slash her way inside to get a bucket or drop a shot from behind the arch. The kicker for Holman is she seems to be only getting better each time she touches the floor. This explains why she's considered a fast riser on the ESPN recruiting board.

The fact that Wisconsin is getting a visit is already signaling a shift under new Wisconsin head coach Robin Pingeton. These are the types of recruits that Wisconsin couldn't even get on campus, and now the Badgers may truly be in the running and even a finalist for one of the best recruits in the 2026 class.
