Wisconsin Basketball Transfer Guard Visits Rising SEC Program

The Wisconsin basketball program’s depth took a hit when sophomore guard Connor Essegian entered the transfer portal. Now, the Badgers staff hopes they won’t have to play against him this upcoming season.

Since Essegian went portaling, the former Badgers’ wing has been linked to multiple Big Ten schools, such as Michigan, Indiana, and Maryland, which he recently visited. His latest visit was with a rising SEC program led by a former Wisconsin basketball assistant and reigning league Coach of the Year, Lamont Paris.

The 6-foot-4 guard announced his visit to South Carolina on social media Sunday afternoon.
