The Wisconsin Badgers are gearing up for year No. 12 under head coach Greg Gard.
Heading into this season, Gard has been able to compile a seven-man class, including freshmen LaTrevion Fenderson, Jackson Ball, and Isaac Riddle. However, Gard recently announced that Fenderson would not be taking part in any games this season, according to Journal Sentinel's John Steppe.

Coming out of St. John's Northwestern Academy, Fenderson was ranked as the nation’s No. 55 overall small forward and the No. 3 player from the state of Wisconsin.
Fenderson held Division I offers from the Badgers, Iowa State, and Milwaukee.
In his final season at DME, Fenderson averaged 14
points, six rebounds, and two assists.
Wisconsin is fresh off a 94-71 exhibition win over UW-Parkside.
Fans can tune into UW's second exhibition on Thursday, Oct. 15, against UW-Green Bay on the Badger Radio Network.
