Wisconsin basketball freshman forward Gus Yalden entered the transfer portal on Thursday morning.
He joined the Badgers as a four-star recruit and the No. 122 overall player in the class of 2023. The highly touted prospect and center of fan excitement did not play for Wisconsin in 2023-24 and did not travel to road games once Big Ten play began.
