Wisconsin Badgers are reshaping their roster for the 2026 season following the introduction of the 5-for-5 eligibility rule. The team has added three players from the transfer portal, one from overseas, and four freshmen. This gives Wisconsin a total of 14 players, including veterans such as point guard Owen Foxwell and forward Nolan Winter. General manager Marc VandeWettering is exploring how this rule will impact recruiting and players considering professional opportunities.
