BIO: Four-star big man Gus Yalden, a native of Appleton, Wisconsin, returns home to play for his home state Badgers. The 6-foot-9 forward ranked as the 17th best center in the country for his class, according to 247 Sports. Yalden attended IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) and the Asheville School (Asheville, N.C.) during his sophomore and junior years before landing at La Lumiere (La Porte, Ind.) for his senior year. Yalden helped La Lumiere finish 18-10 in the National Interscholastic Basketball Conference (NIBC), which is considered to be one of the toughest conferences in the nation. Prior to his senior season, Yalden had a strong summer in the Nike EYBL, which included a 35-point, 17-rebound performance at the prestigious Nike Peach Jam in July.

Did not play his freshman year.

Re a big man. Interesting name. I have said too much though. Hopefully announcement in next day or so

Well at least we cannot call him low IQ this year lol. Seems like a solid player and good character guy

Really surprised his return hasn’t been confirmed yet. Don’t know why he would have been allowed at the recent NIL event while in the portal unless he was 100% coming back. Only thing that makes sense from the outside is that Sha is trying to move around $$ to get a starting caliber big, and DAW may be sacrificed for it (which I’d be OK with).

Numerous stay-or-go decisions could be impacted by the largest NIL deal on record, while players staying in the 2024 NBA Draft may be a teensy bit jealous​

Damn.....Things are moving so fast....its hard to keep up.

What would be our starting lineup today?

Chaunce - PG
Middletown - 2G
Coleman - 3G
PF - Tubek??
C - ?? (any prospects we are close to)

In addition to the point he isn’t showing up on any NBA draft boards leads me to believe he has his NIL $ amount from us and is either mulling it over or has accepted it.

Dre has gone portaling, per Borzello and Braziller.

Sucks. Wish him nothing but the best.

Rumblings online of Ole Miss among others offering a serious pay day.

Saw that KR had a trip to Oklahoma but has he gone on other official visits? Duke and Kentucky was mentioned but did he visit ? Curious as to his list ? Hopig that Shaheen is guiding him (along with family) as to the best fit for him basketball wise (and away from St. Johns)!!!
