It appears a Madison area native has caught the attention of Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard.
Milwaukee Panthers forward Austin Arians, granted his release from the men's basketball program last month, has been offered by the Wisconsin Badgers, per a report from Badger247's Evan Flood on Sunday. Flood noted Arians' former AAU head coach, Justin Litscher of the Wisconsin Swing, informed him of his former star's new opportunity.
Arians will graduate from Wisconsin-Milwaukee, according to a report from ESPN's Jeff Goodman back in March, which would allow him to play immediately for the 2016-17 season.
