A column on the loss of Chucky Hepburn, Wisconsin's NIL efforts and the reality of college basketball today. ⤵️ theathletic.com/5430108/2024/0…
Chucky Hepburn posts this statement on his Instagram account about transferring from Wisconsin.
Wisconsin point guard Chucky Hepburn is in the transfer portal. What it means for the Badgers. Going to be an interesting offseason, to say the least. ⤵️ theathletic.com/5427120/2024/0…
Five takeaways as Wisconsin passes the halfway mark of spring football practices. On the transfer portal, quarterback consistency and more. ⤵️ theathletic.com/5420379/2024/0…
Wisconsin defensive lineman T.J. Bollers intends to enter the transfer portal, The Athletic can confirm. 247Sports had it first. Bollers was a four-star recruit who began his career as an outside linebacker.
"I needed to be realistic about my situation and ask myself the tough questions." Updated story here. Former Wisconsin QB Nick Evers talks to The Athletic about his decision to enter the transfer portal. ⤵️ theathletic.com/5414085/2024/0…
Why quarterback Nick Evers is transferring and what it means for Wisconsin ⤵️ theathletic.com/5414085/2024/0…
Seven observations from Wisconsin's spring practices. On wide receiver depth, quarterbacks and more. theathletic.com/5412829/2024/0…
Wisconsin quarterback Nick Evers announces he's entering the transfer portal. He had been working with the third-team offense this spring.
"I think everyone knows I can play at the next level. I just have to put together that healthy season.” Can a healthy Chez Mellusi change Wisconsin’s offense? Badgers RB hungry for return ⤵️ theathletic.com/5411479/2024/0…
Wisconsin’s sixth spring football practice just wrapped. My favorite play of the day came from receiver Trech Kekahuna. He caught a short pass and juked two defensive backs with a pair of nasty moves. Kekahuna with the ball in space is a good thing for the Badgers.
Inside Aaron Witt’s thousand-day Wisconsin football comeback: ‘He’s a true warrior’ ⤵️ theathletic.com/5406536/2024/0…

@jessetemple Well that was pretty cool to see my post and Chucky’s Dad’s response in the article! By the way, it is Crystal clear why Chucky is so cool when you follow his Dad (@coach_GQ). The Apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
@jessetemple This was outstanding work Jesse. The Los Angeles trip is laugh out loud funny, picturing Kam wanting to Rodeo Drive and TK wanting to hit the Rodeo Drive YMCA for pickup games.
Fantastic write-up by @jessetemple of The Athletic. Marquette draws on past adversity to beat Colorado and reach the Sweet 16. #mubb theathletic.com/5365378/2024/0…
Save some drip for the rest of us @jessetemple
I spot @jessetemple sitting behind Stephen Bardo at the Target Center.
Great stuff from Jesse.
