Badgers a contender for top international prospect

The Wisconsin Badgers have enjoyed a busy offseason, hitting on key targets early in the transfer portal, as they reload for the 2025-26 season.

On the high school recruiting front, the Badgers picked up a commitment from 2026 Australian guard Jackson Ball last month, continuing their focus on international recruits.

Well, the Badgers aren’t done yet, as they’ve been named as a contender for 19-year-old international prospect Elisèe Assui, who is currently the youngest player in Serie A playing for Varese, according to On3’s Joe Tipton.

Elisèe Assui, a 2006-born Italian and currently the youngest player in Serie A playing for Varese, has drawn interest from several high-major programs, including Wisconsin, Texas, Missouri, and Clemson, per source.
