Although the NCAA Tournament Final Four and national title game are still to be played, the college basketball transfer cycle is in full swing.
The 2025 window opened on March 24, immediately following the tournament's second round. It will remain open until April 22. Players have until that date to enter their names. Once in, there is no time limit on committing to a new program.
Wisconsin has major needs to address this transfer cycle. The program said goodbye to a large senior class after the 2024-25 season, including star wing John Tonje, starters Max Klesmit and Steven Crowl, and key bench contributors Carter Gilmore and Kamari McGee. It returns John Blackwell and Nolan Winter to lead the lineup, with starting spots at combo guard, wing and forward all up for grabs.
The program is already trending for several top transfer targets. We have live updates on those pursuits here.
With several Wisconsin players already gone to the portal and commitments imminent, here is an up-to-date tracker of the program's finalized transfer activity.
(Last update: April 3)
OUT: Freshman point guard Daniel Freitag
2024-25 Stats: 29 total minutes, two points, four rebounds, three assists, one steal
Freitag's departure is the most notable of the three. He joined the program as its top recruit in the class of 2024 with the long-term expectation of filling Chucky Hepburn's shoes at point guard. The Minneapolis, Minnesota, native appeared in just 14 games as a true freshman, mostly in the final minutes of decisive wins. He enters the portal with three years of eligibility remaining, likely looking for a guaranteed role and playing time.
Here is more on the impact of Freitag's transfer decision.
OUT: Junior guard Camren Hunter
