Baboucarr Ann’s commitment pushes Wisconsin into nation’s top three

Baboucarr Ann’s commitment to the Wisconsin Badgers has given the No. 2-ranked class in the entire nation, according to 247Sports.

Greg Gard got off to a hot start when he landed Jalen Brown, but now, Ann’s commitment has taken this team to the next level.

Both Ann and Brown are four-star recruits, and each are among the top players, if not the very best in their own state.

Ann, a Minnesota native, is officially listed as the No. 1 player in his state. As for Brown, he’s listed as the No. 5 player in Wisconsin.

To no surprise, both Ann and Brown are top-100-ranked players. Jack Thelen, another Minnesota native, is Gard’s third commitment, the No. 168 overall ranked player.

Together, Ann, Brown, and Thelen cover seemingly every area on the court. Brown is listed as a complete guard, while Ann is a small forward, and Thelen stands 7-foot-1 and could be this team’s next premier center.

For what it’s worth, Thelen is the No. 3-ranked player in Minnesota and is the No. 16 center in the class of 2027.
