It’s safe to say the 2018 recruiting cycle for Wisconsin basketball did not go as Greg Gard and company had hoped.
The Badgers missed out on their top two targets, Joey Hauser (signed with Marquette) and Tyler Herro (decommitted from Wisconsin, then signed with Kentucky), in addition to some other prospects they were in on.
That being said, the Badgers did land some intriguing players in Tai Strickland, Taylor Currie and Joe Hedstrom, all of whom possess traits that should give each of them a good shot to carve out a successful career in Madison.
