The Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team has made notable moves in preparation for the 2026-27 season, securing commitments from Trey Autry, a guard from George Washington, Eian Elmer, a wing from Miami (OH), and Victory Onetu, a center from Hofstra. These additions come after the team lost several key players, including John Blackwell and Aleksas Bieliauskas. The projected starting lineup now includes Owen Foxwell, a 22-year-old Australian point guard from the NBL, alongside Autry, Elmer, Austin Rapp, and Nolan Winter. Foxwell is expected to take on the role previously held by Nick Boyd. The coaching staff, led by Greg Gard, will focus on integrating these players to enhance both scoring and defense. In addition to the starters, rising sophomores Jack Janicki, Zach Kinziger, and Hayden Jones are anticipated to compete for significant bench roles, with an emphasis on improving defensive capabilities. Onetu and Garlock are expected to provide rim protection and physicality in the frontcourt, addressing the team's need for size and strength in college basketball.
