Wisconsin basketball gets visit from one of the transfer portal’s top players
Wisconsin is hosting Omaha transfer forward Frankie Fidler on a visit this weekend, according to NebPreps’ Ana Bellinghausen.
Fidler is fresh off a visit to Nebraska after entering the transfer portal this month.

The three-year collegiate veteran averaged 20.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists on 45% shooting and 35% from 3 at Omaha in 2023-24. He is 247Sports’ 14th-ranked transfer and 3rd-ranked power forward in the portal. He is also a former high school teammate of Wisconsin star point guard Chucky Hepburn.
Wisconsin has starters minutes available with A.J. Storr and Tyler Wahl both gone from the 2023-24 team. Fidler would fill Storr’s role seamlessly and give the Badgers a much-needed scoring and shooting presence on the wing.
