On Sunday, the Wisconsin Badgers got their first transfer portal news, as sophomore guard Connor Essegian announced he’ll be moving on after two seasons with the program.
However, that was only the beginning, as Wisconsin saw walk-on guards Ross Candelino and Luke Haertle enter the transfer portal on Monday.
Candelino, a 6’5 guard from Jacksonville, Florida, joined the Badgers as a walk-on in 2022-23 and redshirted this past season. He enters the portal with three years of eligibility remaining.
The guard saw action in five games with the Badgers, playing a total of 10 minutes, while recording a career-high four points in his first outing against South Dakota last season.
