College basketball is still months away, so now is the time to leak out everyone’s pre-season rankings- teams and players. In a time of NBA Draft departures and players returning back to school, we are beginning to see rosters become more stabilized heading into next year.
The Wisconsin Badgers had no major questions this year on who would be leaving the team, with four starting seniors departing for bigger and better things. Out of all the members of the Badgers leaving, Ethan Happ- the team’s leading scorer, is poised for a big junior year.
Happ earned All-NCAA third team honors a year ago and was on the radar for Big Ten Player of the Year as well, although Purdue’s Caleb Swanigan swimmingly ran away with that one.
