Wisconsin basketball got an early start on its offseason after it fell to BYU in the NCAA Tournament round of 32 on Saturday.
The transfer portal officially opened on Monday. While 16 teams are still left playing for a national title, the rest of the sport has full focus turned toward bolstering their roster for 2025-26 and beyond.
The current transfer window spans until April 22. As is the case in football, players who enter during that period have no set date by which to commit. The transfer window only works to restrict the time when players can enter.
Wisconsin enters the 2025 transfer window with major needs across the lineup. A stellar senior class of John Tonje, Max Klesmit, Steven Crowl, Kamari McGee, Carter Gilmore and Markus Ilver is gone to graduation. That group accounted for 62% of the team's minutes in 2024-25, 67% of its points, 50% of its rebounds, 67.5% of its assists and 67.4% of its 3-point makes.
The class' departure leaves available minutes at starting point guard, starting wing, starting center and several key bench roles. Many of those needs are sure to be addressed during this transfer cycle.
While Wisconsin has yet to see any official incoming or outgoing transfer movement, here is an updated look at the team's reported targets and interests.

Measurables: 6 feet, 8 inches, 210 pounds
2024-25 Stats: Freshman season. 13.4 minutes, 3.8 points, two rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.4 steals. 46% shooting and 35% from three.
Delalic played well during Wisconsin's early-season win over Pittsburgh. He showed flashes during his freshman season at Pittsburgh, often providing an offensive spark off the bench.
The 6'8" shooting guard is an intriguing prospect, one that appears to have a high offensive ceiling. He may not be the center of Wisconsin's offseason plans, but the program would do well to add the rising sophomore to the rotation. He has the chance to emerge as a key rotation piece over his three remaining seasons of eligibility.
Here's more on the former Pittsburgh guard.

Measurables: 6 feet, 8 inches, 225 pounds
2024-25 Stats: Junior season. 28 minutes, 13.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.3 steals per game. 46.8% shooting, 28.6% from three.
Wisconsin has a major need at forward with Steven Crowl and Carter Gilmore gone to graduation. Stillwell played well in his one season at UW-Milwaukee, averaging 13 points and a conference-best 10.7 rebounds. However, the veteran forward doesn't shoot well from long range, which limits his potential impact.
INTEREST: UMass Lowell forward Quinton Mincey
UMass Lowell transfer Quinton Mincey has received interest from the following programs, his advisor tells TPR:

Measurables: 6 feet, 6 inches, 205 pounds
2024-25 Stats: Senior season. 35.9 minutes, 16.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists per game. 48.6% shooting, 39.4% from 3.
Mincey projects as a wing in Wisconsin's current offensive approach. He checks the boxes of what the program should be looking for -- experience and success at the college level, versatile scoring ability and strong three-point shooting.
INTEREST: Drexel guard Kobe Magee
Drexel guard Kobe Magee has been gaining a lot of early interest. This season he avg. 14.0 ppg and shot 44% from three-point range.

Measurables: 6 feet, 6 inches, 180 pounds
2024-25 Stats: Junior season. 33.7 minutes, 14.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists per game. 47.2% shooting, 43.9% from 3.
Magee was one of the best shooters in the CAA this past season, making three-pointers at nearly a 44% clip. He would fit well in Wisconsin's new-look offense. The Badgers may not look for a true point guard with John Blackwell set to lead the offense. If Blackwell is the primary ball-handler, Magee would provide a strong complement. Of course, there is always the question of how production and performance will translate from a lower level up to the Big Ten.
