Madison, Wis. - It's been a hell of a long-time since the University of Wisconsin signed a scholarship player from the city of Milwaukee - 2005, to be exact (Markus Landry). A trend that UW hopes to buck in the near future. 

After impressing at Wisconsin basketball's advanced camp this summer, Greg Gard and his coaching staff made four-star small forward Davion Hannah, out of Milwaukee (Wis.), the first scholarship offer of the 2025 recruiting cycle. 

According to 247Sports, he is the No. 49 overall prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, the No. 11 SF in the country, and the No. 1 player in Wisconsin.

"The coaches and I at Wisconsin have a very strong and comforting relationship," Hannah told BadgerNotes. "Every time I speak with them, I get this welcoming feeling, and it feels like home."

As a freshman, the 6-foot-5, 180-pound forward averaged 13.6 points and 9.2 rebounds per game on 55% shooting while playing for the Milwaukee Academy of Science. 

Hannah already holds offers from Arizona State, LSU, Marquette, Mississippi State, and Wisconsin. He's also heard from Iowa State, Minnesota, and Ohio State.

Assistant coach Sharif Chambliss is acting as the lead recruiter for the top 50 prospect and has been in regular contact with Hannah.

"Coach Sharif is the coach I talk to the most, and every time I speak with him, it's like I'm speaking with someone I've known for years," Hannah explained. "Wisconsin wants me to be a leader and have a big role on the team; every time I speak with the coaches, they tell me how much I can help the program.”

On the court, the Milwaukee native is a physical and versatile forward who can score from all three levels and play high-level defense on the perimeter. He's especially good at slashing through the lane and finishing strong around the cup. Hannah has an excellent overall feel and basketball IQ.
