The Wisconsin Badgers and head coach Greg Gard were looking for a centerpiece (haha, get it) big man for their 2023 recruiting class, and they have found one with Wisconsin roots.
4-star center Gus Yalden (Appleton) out of The Asheville (N.C.) School announced his commitment to UW’s 2023 class on Tuesday. Although the center plays his prep ball in the Tar Heel State, Yalden has decided to come home and play for the Badgers.
The big man chose Wisconsin over a final group of Big Ten foes Nebraska and Rutgers and…College of Charleston (maybe the man just likes the Carolinas).
