Wisconsin head basketball coach joined ESPN Madison this week to talk hoops and build excitement for the upcoming games that the Badgers will get to play at Fiserv Center. In that interview, Gard was asked if the recruiting pitch towards transfers is now, "You can be the next John Tonje?" Gard said it actually goes back further than that, as Tonje is standing in a line of successful transfers at Wisconsin.
John Tonje was a huge success at Wisconsin and arguably one of the best transfers in the country and in Wisconsin history. However, the pitch is older than John Tonje, as Gard says that Tonje was aware of Johnny Davis and AJ Storr.
