FOOTBALL RECRUITING Five to watch this spring: Wisconsin tailback targets in the 2025 class


Wisconsin Isaiah West committed to Kentucky, I think Forster is the most realistic option at this point - and he's certainly not a consolation prize. The Badgers are stressing how well New Jersey running backs have done in their program, and I could see UW jump to the top for him after his visit.

Louis (Florida schools) and Clarizio (Michigan State) are going to be tough to get to leave their respective states. Howard doesn't seem too realistic unless Michigan or Florida State slow play him, and you could get Garnett at any time.

Wouldn't be surprised if another offer or two goes out this spring.

BASKETBALL Wisconsin announces Howard Moore Family Offices

MADISON, Wis. – Howard Moore, a beloved figure within Wisconsin Athletics, will be recognized when the newly constructed men’s basketball offices at the Kohl Center bear his family name, as announced on Saturday.

The “Howard Moore Family Men’s Basketball Offices,” was unveiled during a halftime ceremony. Moore, along with family, friends and former teammates, were in attendance at the Kohl Center on Saturday.

“Howard Moore represents everything it means to be a Badger,” UW Director of Athletics Chris McIntosh said. “His impact here is deep and his legacy should be attached to this program forever. It is a privilege for us to make this announcement.”

In May of 2019, Howard and his family were involved in a tragic car accident that claimed the lives of his wife, Jennifer, and his daughter, Jaidyn (9). Howard and his son, Jerell, survived the incident.

Moore was an assistant coach at Wisconsin from 2005-09 under former head coach Bo Ryan, then returned to the Badger bench as an assistant coach from 2015-19 under current head coach Greg Gard.

A graduate and former player at Wisconsin, Moore played in 47 games for the Badgers from 1990-95, including 21 appearances as a senior. He played for coaches Steve Yoder, Stu Jackson and Stan Van Gundy, and helped the Badgers earn back-to-back NIT berths in 1991 and 1992. In 1994, Moore teamed with Michael Finley, Rashard Griffith, Tracy Webster, Andy Kilbride, Brian Kelley and others to help Wisconsin end a 47-year drought and return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1947.

A recipient of the University of Wisconsin African-American Alumni Association Student Leadership Award in 1993, Moore graduated from Wisconsin with a Bachelor's Degree in African-American Studies in 1995.

My thoughts on next years BBall team...

OK, so we lose Wahl. Can the bus replace him? Can Winter put on 15+? Will Blackwell improve even more? Can Crowl become a Frank Jr? Will Storr stay? I don't see Robison as a player next year, but you never know. Personally, I see Freitag as a HUGE difference maker next year! Gilmore is Gilmore. McGee will be an important cog. I wish that I could factor CE in, but I just cant. It would be great to have a shooter like CE, but I just don't see him coming back
