Wisconsin Badgers basketball recruiting target EJ Walker

Wisconsin Badgers head basketball coach Greg Gard and his staff are still in the mix for one of their top targets in the 2025 recruiting class.

Three-star power forward EJ Walker from Lloyd High School in Earlinger, Kentucky, dropped his top 12 schools on Friday afternoon, and the Wisconsin Badgers made the cut alongside Dayton, Iowa, West Virginia, Louisville, Illinois, Purdue, South Carolina, Minnesota, Xavier, Cal, and Ohio State.

“Wisconsin has been consistent in my recruitment, and I have a great relationship with the coaches,” Walker told Badgernotes. “Players in my position in the past have been successful there.”

According to the composite recruiting rankings, Walker is the No. 156 player in his class, the No. 30 PF, and the No. 2 player in Kentucky. 

Badgers Make the Top 12 for 2025 Forward EJ Walker

The Wisconsin basketball program has been aggressively after EJ Walker since offering him in May last year. He is considered one of the Badgers’ top targets in the 2025 recruiting class.

Assistant coach Sharif Chambliss has been the lead recruiter for the 6-foot-8, 220-pound forward, who has visited Madison twice unofficially, once in June and more recently in November when UW played Tennessee.
