Owen Foxwell, a star point guard in the NBL, flipped his commitment from LSU to Wisconsin. The Badgers have lost a few notable seniors and had two starters join the transfer portal, so they're fighting to build a new roster ahead of the 2026-27 season.
While it seems like Joel could be an easy name to bring in, the Badgers have reportedly yet to join his recruitment. According to Sam Kayser, there are currently nine teams battling it out for the Portland freshman.

Foxwell started all 34 games with the Pilots last season, averaging 15.6 points, 6.5 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game. Knowing both John Blackwell and Nick Boyd are no longer on the team, it would've been quite an interesting backcourt with the Foxwell brothers leading the charge.
