Wisconsin men’s basketball picks up fourth verbal commitment of the class of 2023

The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team could have a stacked center rotation next season.

Lakeville, Minnesota native Nolan Winter announced Friday he’d be joining the Badgers roster next season. He’s the fourth commitment alongside Gus Yalden, John Blackwell and Jack Janicki.

Winter, who is 6 foot 11, joins the team as the second center of the class of 2023. He and Yalden will add to a currently thin center rotation led by junior Steven Crowl.

The three-star recruit had narrowed down his options to Minnesota and Wisconsin. He had ties to Minnesota with his father playing basketball for the Gophers and his mother a Minnesota volleyball player.
