Wisconsin Badgers fill final basketball roster spot with transfer forward from Temple

Gray spent last season coming off the bench for the Owls, averaging nine points and 3.8 rebounds per game.

Prior to transferring to Temple, he played a similar role at Fordham, with nine career starts.

In a press release, Gard pointed to that experience as one of the appealing traits for the Badgers.

"He brings a lot of experience to the table having three years of college hoops under his belt," Gard said. "We're excited to have him on campus this summer and work with us for the upcoming season."

Gray called Wisconsin a "historic program" with what he sees as a "culture of greatness" that he's excited to be part of.

At 6-foot-8, he'll give the Badgers some needed length off the bench.

Wisconsin seems to have made a late push in recruiting Gray, who didn't list the Badgers among his Top 3 schools back in April.
