Theoretically they should be. They are getting in a pretty highly touted Point Guard in Daniel Frietag and they have good connections with a portal transfer or two that they may or may not get.
With that being said, while GG is better than Paul C, I think it's a similar situation. If you are looking for greatness, a chance at UW is inevitable.
I wonder if they could throw a lot of $$$$ at the Iowa State coach and poach him. He's the real deal and outrecruites UW badly for the Wisconsin kids anways. He's our Fickmeister
