The only Wisconsin guy who has transfered is Jordan Davis. But they have interest in a lot of transfers.

Cyvril Martov seven footer from Canada just entered the transfer portal just finished his freshman year. He had Wisconsin in his final 4 maybe he want to play closer to home? So uwgb would be a good spot for him?

Is there a thread for players transferring in?
If not, I'll put this here: Several players in the portal with Wisconsin ties have drawn interest from the new staff. Hearing Preston Ruedinger and Max Nelson from Valpo, and Dalton Banks from SIU have all been contacted and appear to be at least willing to listen to Sunny's pictch. Same with Foster Wonders (who's from the UP (Escanaba maybe?) from SIU.

Maxius Nelson former Wisconsin high school player big man. Valpo transfer who just went in the portal. Coach wicks just followed him on Twitter must of know he was going to transfer. He’s 6’8 225 lbs just finished his freshman season. Uwgb is probably going to be in the mix for him?

Nelson and Banks are guys I would love to see come to GB. They have high potential beyond their stats.
I don't know enough about Preston's development as a player. When he played two years ago he was a game manager type, he stayed within himself and didn't force anything.
I loved Wonders out of high school. He was a catch and shoot guy for SIU. I think he could do more but he is a wild card if he is in the portal. I'm very interested but it is fair to say with him, Rose, Wrecke and Douglas JR there is potential but not a for sure guy at a key opening in the roster.
The roster needs two ball handlers, two big men and at least one shooting guard that can produce next season IMO.

I will move this post out of the other thread and start a new one for the guys that are potential targets in the transfer portal, I like it. We can keep the recruiting board for the traditional high school / JUCO recruiting targets. I would definitely take Banks and Nelson. The AD has mentioned getting solid players (from WI) that initially went elsewhere and could come back home, those two definitely fit the bill. Ruedinger was a walk-on at Valpo, I would take him in a similar role at GB as well.

Is foster wonders in the transfer portal? I never saw him go in. That's my question too. Wonders was the first player i thought of when Monaghan was announced. GB offered Wonders out of high school, and I believe Monaghan recruited him to SIU. He's an obvious candidate, but as far as I know, he's not in the portal. I wouldn't want GB crossing any lines. UW...cough cough...Kamari..cough cough. Oops, sorry, had something stuck in my throat there.

Maybe they did with Maximus Nelson? I’m not saying they did. But coach wicks followed him before he was officially in the portal. I don’t know. Maybe they talked him before he was in the portal maybe they didn’t. I don’t know why you start on the wrong foot. You do know what you described is tampering and shouldn’t be said on this board…

Any coach will network with his or her contacts -- AAU coaches, high school coaches, former colleagues and the general public who will get in touch with a tip on a player who may become available. Having coached at a handful of schools I'm sure Wicks and his new staff (who have their own list of contracts) know the rules. FYI, the Nix staff is the most experienced in school history. A total of more than 40 years of coaching on the college level.

We don't know when Nelson entered the portal. We only know when we tweeted that he is transferring.
We also don't know who reached out to who. For all we know someone close to Nelson called the GB coaches and said Nelson is going in the portal and you should contact him.
I highly doubt GB is out there trying to convince kids to enter the portal. What is the pitch? "Hey you don't know me and I know the team has only won 3 games but I think you should leave XYZ school and come here!"

So uwgb would be a good spot for him? Wyoming did offer Cyril last summer. While Wyoming wasn't in his final 4 he does have previous contact with Wicks.

I am not sure how many scholarships UW has available, they are looking at a lot of transfer possibilities including Reynolds and Domask. With the crazy NIL numbers some schools are handing out, does the scholarship even matter. Tyler Wahl returning for a fifth year uses a scholarship I assume.
