Jonathan was born the morning of Feb. 27, 2002, and Jordan arrived about eight minutes later. After they’d been swaddled in blankets, their father took them into his long arms and posed for a photo with some props: a pair of orange, Nerf basketballs.

The transfer from Ohio State will state his case for immediate eligibility at UW.

Reuvers, a junior forward for the UW men’s basketball team, averaged 18 points, 10 rebounds and 6.5 blocks in two games last week.

The Badgers pulled away for a 65-52 win over the Panthers, but the game felt a bit like an afterthought after a pregame ceremony honoring the family of assistant coach Howard Moore. Moore and his family were involved in an automobile accident in late May in Michigan that killed his wife Jen and 9-year-old daughter Jaidyn.

“(Playing at a faster pace) is something (coach Greg Gard) always semi-preaches,” says guard Brad Davison, “but this year he’s fully in on it.”

Deang Deang and Shareef Smith, two of the most dynamic Madison high school players of the last 10 years, are both on the roster for the Eastern Illinois Panthers, who play the Badgers in the season’s home opener at the Kohl Center Friday night.

UW could have quieted the it’s-going-to-be-a-long-season crowd — at least for one night — but made too many mistakes down the stretch of a 65-63 overtime loss to Saint Mary’s at the Sanford Pentagon.

It’s not a stretch to say Kobe King has the highest ceiling of any player on the UW roster, and a breakthrough season for him would go a long way in helping the Badgers return to the NCAA tournament despite losing Ethan Happ and Khalil Iverson.

With Ethan Happ graduated, UW is expected under Greg Gard to become less stagnant and return to some version of its old, five-man motion game where everyone on the floor can score from anywhere.

After years of uneven recruiting in which the program seemed to swing and miss on high-level recruits, these five commitments were selected on having the potential to develop into high-quality Big Ten Conference players at some point in their careers.
