Sophomore walk-on Isaac Lindsey fulfilled the dreams of countless Madison teens Monday when the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team announced on Twitter he was awarded the final scholarship head coach Greg Gard and the Badgers had to offer.
Lindsey, a native of Mineral Point, Wisconsin, and the fifth-ranked prospect in the state coming out of high school, first came to the Badgers as a walk-on transfer after a year at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
For many Wisconsin basketball fans, Lindsey may be a niche character who is rarely seen at the scorer’s table.
