The University of Wisconsin Badgers have extended a scholarship to Kevin Wilson, a highly touted guard from Minnesota’s Class of 2028, following his performance at the school’s advanced basketball camp.
A Midwestern Recruiting Surge
Wilson, who has already amassed over 1,000 career points as a sophomore at Tartan High School, is regarded as one of the premier prospects in the state and is known for his ability to score at will and create opportunities for teammates.
The offer represents Wilson’s first official Big Ten scholarship and underscores the Badgers’ continued success in identifying talent early, a pattern that has produced multiple scholarships in recent years.
Wisconsin’s coaching staff, led by head coach Greg Gard, has long cultivated a pipeline of Minnesota talent, leveraging the state’s deep basketball tradition to sustain competitive rosters.
The Badgers have already secured commitments from Jalen Brown and Jack Thelen in the 2027 class, and they are actively engaging other top in‑state and out‑of‑state prospects, including Joey Kohnen and Arizona wing Terrance Byrd, as they shape their 2028 recruiting board.
Wilson’s skill set as a combo guard, capable of operating both on and off the ball, aligns with the program’s emphasis on versatile playmakers, and his continued performance on the AAU circuit only reinforces the Badgers’ confidence in his potential.
