Former Badgers basketball recruit enters transfer portal
The first two days of March Madness are over and the Badgers men’s basketball team lost to James Madison in the round of 64, so their focus shifts to the 2024-2025 season.
The team’s attention will partially go toward the transfer portal. Former Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, standout Kobe Johnson (USC) entered the portal Friday.

Wisconsin never offered Johnson coming out of Nicolet High School in 2021 as a three-star athlete, but they hosted the 6-foot-6, 200-pound athlete for a visit.
Johnson averaged 10.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists in his third season with USC. With the future of AJ Storr in question for the Badgers, Johnson could be an intriguing player to take a look at in the portal for Greg Gard and his staff.
