The Wisconsin Badgers had their first practice available to the media on Thursday, giving early access to their new-look team ahead of the season.
There were several new faces in attendance, notably transfer guards Nick Boyd and Andrew Rohde, who are expected to start alongside returning star John Blackwell in the backcourt this season.
While I wasn’t at practice, there were several reports out there about the day, with one quote standing out.
Speaking to Wisconsin media for the first time, Boyd had a strong declaration about the Badgers backcourt.
“This is going to be one of the best trios in the country,” Boyd said, via On3’s Evan Flood, referring to him, Blackwell, and Rohde.
