Where Wisconsin men’s basketball 2026-27 roster stands before transfer portal
Why Wisconsin’s Greg Gard doesn’t take March Madness berth for granted
Wisconsin coach Greg Gard explained how he does not take Wisconsin’s NCAA Tournament berth for granted despite it being ‘commonplace’ in Madison.
With eight newcomers (or nine until one preseason dismissal), the Wisconsin men’s basketball roster for 2025-26 looked much different from its 2024-25 roster.
Now with the 2025-26 season in the rearview mirror, early indications point toward the 2026-27 roster again looking much different from this season’s.
Wisconsin is losing four seniors and two players who intend to transfer and already had one open roster spot. With more than a week before the transfer portal opens April 7, that means the Badgers could have at least seven newcomers on a 2026-27 roster that is capped at 15 players.
Here is a look at where the roster stands at this point in the reconstruction process:
Wisconsin’s guards
Exhausted eligibility: Nick Boyd, Andrew Rohde, Braeden Carrington, Isaac Gard
Intending to transfer: No announcements yet
Has ability to return: John Blackwell, Jack Janicki, Zach Kinziger, Hayden Jones
Incoming freshmen: LaTrevion Fenderson, Jackson Ball
The Badgers will have a much different backcourt as they replace starting guards Boyd and Rohde and key reserve Carrington. The big question is whether they can retain Blackwell, who said he did not know his plans in the immediate aftermath of the March Madness loss.
Boyd, Rohde and Carrington’s departures already account for a loss of about 41% of the team’s scoring and 51% of the team’s assists from the 2025-26 season. Losing Blackwell too would swell those numbers to 64% of the team’s scoring lost and 65% of the team’s assists lost.
Janicki removed any doubt about his status when he said after the loss to High Point that he plans to return to the Badgers. Aside from Blackwell, he is the only other UW guard with the ability to come back who averaged at least 10 minutes per game this season.
Wisconsin’s forwards
Exhausted eligibility: None
Intending to transfer: Jack Robison, Riccardo Greppi
Has ability to return: Nolan Winter, Austin Rapp, Aleksas Bieliauskas, Will Garlock
For as much change as Wisconsin’s backcourt is experiencing, the frontcourt has the potential to have a similar composition in 2026-27.
Winter, Rapp, Bieliauskas and Garlock were the four players who each played in at least 30 of UW’s 35 games, and each player has the option to return. Rapp indicated after the High Point loss that he “100%” plans on returning, and Winter wanted to “live minute-by-minute and soak this all in” when he faced questions about his future.
Robison and Greppi, the first two UW players to signal their intention to enter the transfer portal, were on the floor for 31 and 19 minutes in 2025-26, respectively. Those were the two lowest minute totals among scholarship players. With Daniel Freitag transferring last year and Robison and Greppi transferring this year, UW’s entire 2024 high school recruiting class will be playing elsewhere.
When could Wisconsin’s transfer portal activity pick up?
The men’s college basketball transfer portal window will open April 7 and last through April 21. As already evident with Robison and Greppi, though, it is often in athletes’ best interests to announce their intention to transfer before the portal officially opens.
The 15-day window dictates when a player can enter the portal (with a few exceptions), but players do not necessarily need to commit to their new school during that time.
UW appears to have five open roster spots when taking into account players intending to depart and recruits joining the program as freshmen. General manager Marc VandeWettering has long strategized UW’s roster reconstruction efforts for the 2026 offseason, and athletes’ agents may have been thinking ahead as well.
“We’d be naive to think that agents aren’t trying to figure out the markets for people,” VandeWettering told the Journal Sentinel in a late-February conversation, “whether that means they’re actually shopping somebody or just trying to figure out what numbers should look like.”

How many homes could be built in Northeast Wisconsin in 2026?
(Stacker) – Homebuilding plays a critical role in maintaining a steady housing supply and keeping prices at sustainable levels. As the U.S. population grows, more housing is needed to meet demand. Since the Great Recession, construction has lagged well behind what is needed, which is one of the main reasons home prices are so high today.
Supply has slowly increased over the past few years but is still below what is needed for the market to balance out. Until that gap closes, prices are likely to remain elevated, and many buyers will likely struggle to afford a home.
So, how many homes are getting built in Northeast Wisconsin in 2026? Is construction increasing or decreasing?
Redfin Real Estate analyzed the rate of housing permits issued in the cities of Appleton, Fond du Lac, Green Bay, Oshkosh and Sheboygan over the past 13 months to find out.

Wisconsin multi-county police chase, 2 people from Illinois arrested
Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office
FOND DU LAC COUNTY, Wis. – Two people from Illinois were arrested following a police chase that started in Fond du Lac County and ended in Winnebago County on Friday, May 8.
Initial traffic stop
What we know:
According to the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office, just after 1 p.m. the sheriff’s office got an alert for a stolen vehicle out of Illinois heading northbound on I-41 from County Road Y.
It was learned that the vehicle was involved in two different police chases in the past week in Illinois, but had eluded officers each time.

A short time later, a deputy spotted the vehicle on I-41 near Winnebago Street. The deputy continued to follow the suspect vehicle northbound, waiting for more deputies to get into position to attempt a high-risk traffic stop. Once those deputies were in position, a high-risk traffic stop was conducted. The vehicle initially pulled over and stopped, but right after deputies got out of their squad cars and started telling the people to get out of the vehicle, it instead fled northbound on I-41.
Chase into Winnebago County
What we know:
The chase went into Winnebago County, with the vehicle failing to pullover and instead speeding up. As the chase continued, the vehicle continued driving recklessly, passing by other vehicles on the interstate, including passing on the shoulder and weaving between vehicles, all at a high rate of speed.
The vehicle exited I-41 and ran three red lights. The chase continued southbound on State Highway 26, with the vehicle continuing to pass vehicles at a high rate of speed on the two-lane highway.
The vehicle then went off the road and drove through the yard of a home before circling around in the yard, traveling through the ditch, and reentering the highway going northbound. It then went into a field near County Road Z and Clay Road.
As a sergeant with the sheriff’s office was moving in to perform a Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT Maneuver), the suspect vehicle went into reverse and rammed the front of the squad. The vehicle then attempted to leave the field by traveling through a ditch and back up onto the road, where another sheriff’s squad ended the chase by intentionally striking the vehicle and pushing it off the road and back into the ditch.
The vehicle rolled over in the ditch, came to rest upright, but was then disabled and could not move. Two people got out of the vehicle and were taken into custody. The vehicle started on fire and a fire department had to respond to extinguish the fire. Both people from the vehicle were evaluated by medical personnel on scene.
