MADISON – Greg Gard and Co. have landed another one of their top recruiting targets in the 2027 class.
Baboucarr Ann, a four-star recruit from Maple Grove, Minnesota, announced his commitment to Wisconsin men’s basketball via social media on June 25.
"Belief. Trust. Development. Family," Ann said in a tweet. "That's why I'm a Badger."
Ann chose the Badgers over scholarship offers from Notre Dame, Iowa State and nearby Minnesota, among other high-major programs. 247 Sports has ranked the 6-foot-5 prospect No. 84 nationally and No. 1 in Minnesota.
He is the third UW commit in the 2027 class, joining Wauwatosa West guard Jalen Brown and 7-foot-1 center Jack Thelen. Brown also is a top-100 recruit in 247 Sports' rankings.
Ann and Thelen are teammates both at Maple Grove and on the AAU circuit. Brad Davison, UW's special assistant to the head coach, is a Maple Grove alum and had a key role in Ann's recruitment.
While the rankings surely will fluctuate as other schools pick up more commitments, the Badgers have 247 Sports’ third-best recruiting class in the country. Iowa State and Illinois are the only higher-rated classes.
