Some sites have Marquette as an offer. You also have to understand the politics of Wisconsin. The Badgers will not recruit a Wisconsin kid they know they can’t land. They didn’t recruit Milan either because they were told they had zero shot.
I get what you're saying, and it sounds good, but I'd argue it's not entirely true.

Badgers recruited/tried for Kneuppel, Davion Hannah, and Xzayvion.

There are certain AAU coaches that pretty much tell their players not to go there. Wisconsin rarely lands the top players in state. We have landed higher profile players under every staff TJ has been a part of over Wisconsin. The last time Wisconsin landed the top player in the state was Kobe King in 2017. He later transferred
Johnny Davis 2020.

Gard saves his ego. He doesn’t have a good relationship with some high profile AAU organizations in the state

Pretty sure Ryan/Gard ruined any relationship with Team Herro. Those guys will always come down to Marquette or Iowa State if either program wants them

I'm thinking this kid is going to continue to shoot up the rankings. Good offers from solid programs already and he's young. One thing time has shown to be true ... trust TJ's judgment (or his team's judgment) in picking recruits.
