The Wisconsin women’s basketball team has four open scholarships by my count heading into the offseason and I’d recommend that they fill all four of them. The Badgers only had 14 filled this past season for reasons I’m unclear on since another member wasn’t added to the 2024 recruiting class, so hopefully it was being banked for a big transfer portal haul.
Wisconsin has a solid core of returning players but they need a talent infusion at any and all positions if they’re hoping to compete for an NCAA Tournament bid next season. Let’s go over the current roster (and their class) as it stands on April 9, 2024:
PG: Ronnie Porter (Junior); Leena Patibandla (Sophomore)SG: D’Yanis Jimenez (Sophomore); Lily Krahn (Junior)W/F: Halle Douglass (Super Senior); Ana Guillen (Sophomore); Gracie Grzesk (Freshman)W/F: Tessa Grady (Sophomore); Imbie Jones (Sophomore)C: Serah Williams (Junior); Alie Bisballe (Freshman)
Undecided: Natalie Leuzinger (Super Senior, would replace Grady in starting five)In transfer portal: Sania Copeland (SG); Tessa Towers (C); Sacia Vanderpool (F)Graduated: Brooke Schramek (W/G)
Now this isn’t some set in stone depth chart, more of just a visual representation of the players Wisconsin women’s basketball has and where they’d probably play on the court.
