Wisconsin basketball recruiting: UW adds Leena Patibandla to 2023 class

On Sunday afternoon, the Wisconsin Badgers women’s basketball program nabbed their second verbal commitment of the 2023 class when combo guard Leena Patibandla (Massillon, Ohio) out of Jackson High School tweeted her college decision.

The Badgers now have two commitments in the 2023 class, both from Ohio, as Patibandla joins wing Tessa Grady (Dublin, Ohio). I couldn’t find a ton of information on other offers for Patibandla, but her Twitter account shows that Akron and Virginia Tech had extended scholarships. She even visited Blacksburg in October 2021, a few weeks after going to Madison.
