Hey guys, Wisconsin fan here, responding to the question of how we'll be next year. The short answer is: expectations are high. No one graduated and we won't likely have a coach quit in the middle of the year like we did last season. Nigel Hayes might go pro, but his return is not as critical as one might think. Starting 5 has been Bronson Koenig & Zak Showalter in the back court, Hayes & Vitto Brown at the forwards, and Ethan Happ at C. If Hayes goes pro, the likely replacement in the lineup, IMO, is redshirt frosh Andy Van Vliet - he came from Belgium last fall and didn't clear NCAA eligibility for some weird reason. Word from last year is that AVV was one of the best players on the team in practice - this was similar to the news we had on Happ the year before when he redshirted during Kaminsky's senior year, and he did not disappoint. We had 4 guys off the bench last year who contributed, too. Especially if Hayes stays and with the addition of Van Vliet, many are expecting at least one of the reserve bigs to redshirt. There was also hope that a sharpshooting G named Pritzl who missed the entire season with a foot injury would emerge, but it sounds like he may have reinjured himself.

How are you guys looking?
