While that initial portal haul is exciting, there is still work to be done. After the departure of forward Xavier Amos, the Badgers will need to add more transfer depth than they may have expected. Those additions are necessary at two or three more positions: one backup center, one reserve wing, and potentially another reserve guard.

Former Wisconsin guard Luke Haertle reentered the transfer portal on Thursday. The Hartland, Wisconsin, native transferred from Wisconsin after the 2023-24 campaign, eventually committing to Winona State (Division II).

Wisconsin basketball continued its red-hot transfer portal recruiting stretch on Sunday, adding a commitment from San Diego State guard Nick Boyd.
