Wisconsin native who just entered the portal could be a solid fit for Greg Gard

The NCAA basketball transfer portal has been extremely active, but in typical Greg Gard fashion, he goes after specific players and limited players. He isn't just spraying offers all over the portal; he wants very specific fits with very specific personality types. Yesterday, a new name appeared in the portal that may fit what Greg Gard is looking for.

Lipscomb's Jacob Ognacevic has entered the portal and is a name to watch for Wisconsin

Jacob Ognacevic is from Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and has spent the last three years at Lipscomb turning into quite the impressive player. Each season of his career, he has grown in his ability to score points and get rebounds. In his first season at Valparaiso, he averaged 6.3 points and 2 rebounds a game. In his next three years, he increased each year in both categories to finish this last season with 20 points and 8 rebounds a game.

That's right, he was averaging 20 points a game in the ASUN. If you think it's maybe because he was playing in the ASUN, think again. He scored 17 against Iowa State, 16 against Arkansas, and 17 against Kentucky. He can consistently score even against top-ranked teams.

He was a 6'8 "forward for Lipscomb, so the question for Gard's new style of offense is whether he can shoot the three. The answer is also yes; he shoots it at a 40% rate and is also nearly an 80% free-throw shooter. He seems to be a perfect fit for Gard as he checks all the boxes for what could fit the Badgers: Wisconsin native, veteran player, bucket getter, three-point shooting big, and knocks down free throws.

He's definitely a name that fans should keep an eye on. Gard needs to replace a handful of seniors, and a couple of them are his primary bigs: Steven Crowl and Carter Gilmore. Ognacevic may be the guy that Gard is looking for.
