Wisconsin basketball makes the top six for top-100 class of 2025 SF Amari Allen

Wisconsin basketball was listed among the final six schools for top-100 class of 2025 small forward Amari Allen on Monday.

Minnesota, UCF, Mississippi, Nevada and Alabama joined Wisconsin on Allen’s final list of schools.

Shortly after Greg Gard and company extended an offer to Allen earlier this month, Allen scheduled an official visit to Madison, Wisconsin for the weekend of Sept. 14. Allen is also planning on taking official visits to Minnesota and the UCF this fall.

247Sports, On3, ESPN and Rivals still consider Allen a four-star recruit. Over the past two weeks, Allen has moved up to 247Sports’ No. 98 player in the class of 2025. He remains the No. 18 small forward and slid down slightly to the No. 14 recruit from the state of Florida.

Given his offers, which also include Creighton, Auburn, Indiana, Iowa, Marquette, Tennessee, Villanova, Georgetown and Virginia Tech, Wisconsin’s emergence as one of his final suitors is notable.

The 6-foot-7, 180-pounder played high school hoops at Kaukauna High School in Kaukauna, Wisconsin before venturing to Florida’s IMG Academy. The in-state ties appear to have an impact on his final decision.

UW’s current class of 2025 ranks No. 6 in the nation two players committed thus far: four-star shooting guard Zach Kinziger and three-star center Will Garlock.
