Wisconsin to get a visit from Wright State transfer Grant Basile

Earlier this week, Jon Rothstein reported that Wright State transfer Grant Basile would be taking visits to four programs before making a decision on where he’ll play next season.

Among the programs named were Wisconsin, Iowa State, Notre Dame, and Virginia Tech.

Basile is coming off an impressive junior season where he averaged 18.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 blocks per game en route to being named first-team All-Horizon League.

The 6-foot-9, 225-pound forward is a Pewaukee, Wisconsin native, that was recruited by Badgers assistant coach Sharif Chambliss while he was at Wright State.

Basile is a versatile big man that can run the floor, protect the rim, and step out and knock down the three.

It’s easy to see the potential fit with Wisconsin who has plenty of minutes available at forward following the departures of Chris Vogt and Ben Carlson.

The Wright State transfer has one year of eligibility remaining.
