“The biggest thing that he did at the end was he apologized again and he was in tears and he said, ‘It’s not your fault, it’s my fault.'” “He sat there, he listened and there was not one dry eye in the entire room at the end of everything,” an unidentified player later told the State Journal. The newspaper said that it received the recording from an anonymous email account and that the file included only a portion of the actual meeting.ĭuring the meeting, forward Nate Reuvers tells Gard that “we don’t have a relationship” and that “I personally don’t think or feel like you care about our future aspirations.” Guard Walt McGrory tells Gard “I don’t know if I’ll ever talk to you again after this.” 19 team meeting that included seven senior players, Gard and three assistant coaches.

But to get there Gard needs a lot of players to take big strides.
This team can look a lot like the 2020 squad, when Micah Potter and Nate Reuvers wreaked havoc with size and physicality. Gard might just be the best coach in the Big Ten when it comes to keying in on the strengths of his roster and designing a gameplan around them. Gard’s 20 Big Ten titles followed very different blueprints, with the former team posing a balanced attack that played through its big men, and the latter centered around star-power on the perimeter. The Badgers will need two of Neath, Davis, Klesmit, McGee and Essegian to emerge on the wings, and none of them are proven at the high major level. But the star duo were both top-300 nationally in turnover rate, and top-400 in free throw rate, meaning they created not just the scoring, but much of the efficiency in the offense. Wisconsin’s offense wasn’t that good last year even with Davis and Davison. All good things must come to an end, and Wisconsin’s inability to recruit at a high level will eventually matter. Gard needs to land a royal straight flush of development to get anywhere near the top of the Big Ten. The Badgers lost not only their two leading scorers, they lost their heart and soul with Davis and Davison now departed. A summer foreign trip, and a down year in the conference, will help ensure that is the case. With a foundation of Wahl, Crowl, and Hepburn, Wisconsin will be just fine. But already you can see the players who will emerge. Yes, Johnny Davis and Brad Davison leave big holes. No one in the league can claim a system that consistently works irrespective of personnel better than what Gard and his predecessor Bo Ryan have built, and they recruit to their style as well as anyone. But we’ve been down this road with the Badgers many times during the last quarter century. Any team that lost 60 percent of its scoring from a year ago, and ostensibly did little to replace that production must be met with skepticism.
