You can’t give an “A” grade to a team that lost its star guard to the portal, with Blackwell off to Duke this offseason. But a very important aspect this offseason in the sport has been retaining frontcourt pieces, with the Badgers keeping both Winter and Rapp for another year, with Onuetu set to back them up.
The backcourt is where the questions lie. Autry and Elmer are both quality shooters who’ll spread the floor well. Foxwell, one of five incoming freshmen, could be the point guard of the team out of the gate. If that works well, Wisconsin will be fine.
If not, then they could be set to take a step back as a team.
