Wisconsin basketball extends offer to top-100 class of 2025 small forward

Wisconsin men’s basketball program extended an offer to class of 2025 small forward Amari Allen on Friday, per his recent post on X.

The news arrives four days after the Badgers locked in an official visit with top-ranked in-state SF on Monday. He is slated to visit Madison the weekend of Sept. 13, the same weekend UW will play Alabama at Camp Randall.

Allen will also take official visits to Minnesota and the University of Central Florida.

247sports, On3, ESPN and Rivals all consider Allen a four-star recruit. He’s ranked as 247Sports’ No. 100 player in the class of 2025, No. 18 small forward and No. 11 recruit from the state of Florida.

Of his 25 offers, the most notable include Creighton, Auburn, Indiana, Iowa, Marquette, Tennessee, Villanova, Georgetown and Virginia Tech.

Despite being considered a Florida prospect, the 6-foot-7, 180-pounder played basketball at Kaukauna High School in Kaukauna, Wisconsin before joining Bradenton, Florida’s IMG Academy.

Greg Gard’s current class of 2025 ranks within the nation’s top 10 with two athletes committed: four-star shooting guard Zach Kinziger and three-star center Will Garlock.

Given Allen’s prestige in national rankings and in-state ties, the Badgers appear to be preparing an impressive official visit with the Crimson Tide football team in town. His commitment would be nothing short of monumental for a team looking to reclaim postseason success in a loaded 18-team Big Ten.
