Wisconsin star guard John Blackwell’s transfer recruitment may not be as narrowed as previously reported.
After 247Sports’ Travis Branham reported that Blackwell was down to two schools, Illinois and Duke, DraftExpress’ Jonathan Givony took to X on Friday to report that his list has actually been narrowed to six: Alabama, Arizona, Duke, Illinois, Louisville and UCLA.
Givony notably cites two people from Blackwell’s agency, Life Sports, in his report. Both lists include Duke and Illinois, which may be the favorites at this stage of the process. However, Blackwell’s list may not be trimmed to just those two.
The standout guard averaged 19.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.8 minutes per game for Wisconsin in 2025-26. He is currently ranked as the No. 2 overall player in the portal and the top shooting guard. Blackwell also declared for the NBA draft process when he entered the portal earlier this month. As of now, the only apparent guarantee is that he will be playing the 2026-27 season somewhere other than Wisconsin.
Stay tuned throughout the month as Blackwell’s transfer recruitment continues, and as the Badgers rebuild their roster entering the 2026-27 campaign.
