The Badgers are interested in adding a center in the transfer portal still.
The Wisconsin Badgers added three players last week via the transfer portal, and they may not be done yet.
BadgerNotes’s Dillon Graff shared that the Badgers hosted McCook Community College transfer center Noah Boyed on a visit this past weekend, as they gauge interest in several remaining players in the portal.

Boyed, a 7’0, 230-pound center, was initially signed to Baylor in November, but requested a release from his National Letter of Intent, as his main recruiter, Alvin Brooks III, headed to Kentucky.
This past season, Boyed played in just five games before suffering a season-ending injury, but averaged 10.9 points and 8.5 rebounds the year prior for McCook.
Receiving an extra year of eligibility due to the injury, Boyed heads to his next destination with three years of remaining eligibility, and the Badgers are showing interest.
After landing guard Camren Hunter, wing John Tonje, and forward Xavier Amos, it appears the Badgers are now focused on getting a center, having expressed interest in a number of players such as Boyed.
