2023 target Nolan Winter gives an update on his Badgers recruitment

Greg Gard and his coaching staff have a knack for quickly identifying culture fits that play their specific brand of basketball and establishing relationships they can maintain throughout the entire recruiting process.

One of the prospects Wisconsin was able to identify early in the recruiting process was 2023 three-star forward Nolan Winter out of Lakeville, Minnesota, which Wisconsin offered back in June of 2021.

If Lakeville sounds familiar, it’s because UW has created a bit of a pipeline at Lakeville North High School in recent years – producing Badger forward’s Nate Reuvers and Tyler Wahl.

Per 247Sports, Winter is the No. 140 overall prospect in the 2023 class, the No. 23 SF in the country, and the No. 2 player in Minnesota.

The 6-foot-11, 190-pound forward currently holds offers from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Stanford, Xavier, Oregon State, St. Thomas, and Wake Forest.

Additionally, he’s heard from Virginia Tech, UCLA, Illinois, Notre Dame, Virginia, Utah, Creighton, and Oklahoma State.
