The Badgers recruiting efforts paid off this week as the team announced Wednesday that Lakeville, Minnesota power forward Nathan Reuvers has verbally committed to the Wisconsin basketball team.
A three-star forward by 247Sports rankings, Reuvers is considered the 38th-best power forward nationally, and at 6-foot-9 and 210 pounds already as a high school junior will give the Badgers plenty to work with in two years when he’s on campus.
Reuvers and four-star La Crosse shooting guard Kobe King are now the two members of the Badgers current recruiting class of 2017.
The Badgers will need both in 2017 to rebuild the depth of the program.
