One of the strengths of the Wisconsin men's basketball staff over the years has been its ability to recognize prospects before other programs and offer those players scholarships. Current Badgers Jon Leuer and Jordan Taylor fit that category. So does Vander Blue, a consensus top 30 prospect for the Class of 2010 who recently withdrew his oral commitment from the Badgers. Could Cameron Wright be the next? The Badgers were the first school to offer a scholarship to the 6-foot-5 swingman from Cleveland Benedictine High School, but the two went their separate ways after Wright verbally committed to Ohio State. Wright decommitted from Ohio State in April and the Badgers were the first high-major program to extend him an offer, something Benedictine coach Rob Stircula said happened two weeks ago. Stircula said Indiana offered Wright a scholarship last week and that Georgia Tech and Minnesota recently joined a list of interested teams that includes Cincinnati, Dayton, Miami, Notre Dame and Xavier. Wright plans to come to Wisconsin on June 11.

Bo Ryan needs to be careful. If this photo makes the circuit the left may start calling him an
Asian hater.

It takes a special player to get paid to play for the Badders. What the hell is some highschooler going to do in UW besides drink, hang out with co-eds, and tip cows? You can do that in Anycity, USA.

Yeah... because Bloomington or Lexington or Lawrence or even Chapel Hill are such more exciting places...

Heck, the band members get more action than the athletes.
