The first significant headline of Wisconsin basketball's 2025 transfer cycle passed on Monday, as freshman point guard and former top recruit Daniel Freitag announced his departure.
Freitag was the program's top recruit in the class of 2024, ranked as a four-star prospect and the No. 119 player in the class, No. 12 point guard and No. 3 recruit from Minnesota. After Chucky Hepburn's transfer exit last offseason, many turned to Freitag as the program's future at the position.
The point guard rarely saw the court as a true freshman in 2024-25, playing just 29 minutes and recording two points, four rebounds, three assists and a steal.
