The Wisconsin Badgers faced some big news on Monday as freshman point guard Daniel Freitag entered the transfer portal after just one season with the program.

Freitag, a four-star recruit in the Class of 2024, was one of the most heralded recruits in program history, and a player that head coach Greg Gard and his staff spent significant time recruiting to Madison.

But, Freitag played sparingly as a freshman, seeing action in just 14 games without any meaningful minutes, leading to questions about his future at Wisconsin.

Heading into the 2025 season, the Minnesota native seemed primed for a bigger role, as point guards Camren Hunter and Kamari McGee were no longer on the roster.
