The Minnesota Golden Gophers basketball team has made significant additions with transfers Caleb Williams and Femi Odukale. Williams, who previously scored 41 points against the Gophers, joins from Macalester, while Odukale comes from New Mexico State. The Gophers' head coach Ben Johnson has been actively building a strong transfer class, including players with major conference experience. Meanwhile, the Wisconsin Badgers have also strengthened their men's basketball team with the addition of John Tonje through transfers, showing a trend of bolstering their roster with new players.
Wrapping up #Badgers spring ball. Luke Fickell feels good about where the team stands today. And there are reasons to be confident. We present three reasons for optimism and three reasons for concern. And then we'll re-examine the team in July/August. https://t.co/rwubJNxugk
Couple thoughts on #Badgers men's hoops before I get back to football: Lots of transfer talk. Understandable. UW still recruiting. But don't let the focus on the transfers obscure that there is a nice amount of talent returning/coming in from HS ranks.
With commitment of John Tonje, transfers have bolstered Wisconsin men's basketball in barely more than a week https://t.co/9Mjpfyp1kP
Just posted our #Badgers hoops story. When we talked to Greg Gard the night of the season-ending banquet (April 24), UW had added zero transfers. Eight days later three players have been added.
We have two #Badgers stories coming. Hoops first and then football. We put a bow on spring ball with three reasons for fans to be optimistic and three reasons for a bit of concern.

Sneaky solid transfer class Ben Johnson and his #Gophers staff has put together now adding another player in @showtime_Femi with major conference experience starting his career at Pittsburgh and Seton Hall.
#Gophers get Macalester transfer Caleb Williams, who scored 41 points against them in an exhibition game last season. Williams had several Division I programs showing interest @StribSports @GopherMBB https://t.co/GWAgfyM6BE
