Wisconsin Men's Basketball Star Guard Plans to Enter Transfer Portal
- On Monday, Wisconsin star guard John Blackwell announced his decision to enter the NCAA transfer portal and the NBA draft process, declaring his Badgers career officially complete.
- Seeking a fresh start, Blackwell stated, "I'm looking for a place where I can enhance my skills for the NBA and compete for a national championship," citing his desire for development and elite competition.
- The 6-foot-4 guard averaged a career-high 19.1 points and 5.1 rebounds last season, earning third-team All-Big Ten honors while shooting 38.9 percent from three-point range and 85.9 percent from the free-throw line.
- Illinois has emerged as a potential destination; Blackwell was spotted in the Illinois section during Saturday's national semifinals, and his father, Glynn Blackwell, played for the Fighting Illini from 1984 to 1988.
- With the transfer portal officially opening Tuesday, Blackwell plans to take visits and make a final decision within the next three to four weeks as he explores his options.
