Wisconsin Basketball Program Misses on Frontcourt Transfer Portal Target

The 7-foot big man averaged 10.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game on 56.7% shooting from the field during the 2022-23 season. However, Boyed suffered a knee injury that cut his year short in 2023-24.

A native of St. Lucia, Boyed will have three years of eligibility remaining with LSU.

Wisconsin Basketball Continues to Search for Transfer Center 

Even though the Wisconsin basketball team has some quality depth at center entering the 2024-25 season, the Badgers want to add another player to their frontcourt to compliment Steven Crowl and Nolan Winter. 

Coach Gard has been after a big man in the Chris Vogt mold each of the past two offseasons and wants to ensure they find what they’re looking for this time. Finding a shot blocker who can provide some energy and toughness in spot minutes would be a nice asset for their defense. 

Wisconsin basketball is also involved with former Georgia center Frank Anselem-Ibe. However, the Badgers aren’t considered the favorite and will have to head back to the drawing board at the position to fill their final scholarship. 

Right now, Chris Hodges and Carter Gilmore are the forward options off the bench if Crowl or Winter gets into foul trouble. If you can find a better option who is willing to come in and accept a limited role, you do it.
