Greg Gard and the Wisconsin Badgers males’s basketball teaching employees have been lively the previous few months monitoring prospects within the 2023 and 2024 lessons, in addition to exploring the switch portal for speedy assist in 2022. 

Nonetheless wanting so as to add a wing to the 2023 recruiting class to pair with combo-guard John Blackwell and massive man Gus Yalden, the Badgers prolonged a brand new scholarship supply on Tuesday evening to Gehrig Normand. 

At 6-foot-5, Normand is an efficient athlete and might play both capturing guard or small ahead, relying on the remainder of the lineup. Based mostly on his highlights, he seems to have a strong three-point stroke, and he can elevate and end via contact close to the rim. My favourite a part of his recreation is his quickness and talent to distribute the basketball, particularly with a giant like Gus Yalden, one other phenomenal passer, already dedicated within the 2023 class.

A 3-star prospect by 247 Sports activities and Rivals, Normand holds extra provides from Colorado State, Kansas State, Missouri, New Mexico, Oral Roberts, Rice, SMU, TCU, Tennessee, Texas, Tulsa, and Xavier.

From Birdville Excessive Faculty in Texas, Normand averaged 12 factors, eight rebounds, and 6 assists per recreation as a junior final 12 months. 

Normand is barely the ninth participant to earn a proposal from the Badgers within the 2023 cycle, becoming a member of fellow wings corresponding to Jamie Kaiser and Asa Thomas, who’re additionally extremely coveted at the moment.

Kaiser stays the highest remaining goal after taking an official go to to Madison earlier in Might, however Normand’s toughness and total recreation make him one other intriguing possibility for Wisconsin within the class.

Former Wisconsin ahead Sam Dekker has already begun serving to the Badgers within the recruitment, Tweeting on the three-star wing “what are you ready for” shortly after Normand introduced the supply. 

We are going to see if Dekker and the teaching employees have discovered the subsequent piece within the 2023 class.
