Wisconsin Basketball Fills Coveted Stretch Forward Spot in Portal

Wisconsin Badgers head basketball coach Greg Gard has filled the last glaring hole on the roster through the transfer portal.

Northern Illinois forward Xavier Amos announced his commitment to the Wisconsin basketball team over reported interest from Virginia, Kansas, Texas, Illinois, Nebraska, Xavier, and Cal, among others.

Standing at 6-foot-8, 210 pounds, Amos started all 25 games he appeared in as a sophomore, averaging 13.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.2 assists per game in a little over 30 minutes a contest. Of note, Amos was a 38.5% shooter from beyond the arc on 4.
