Once again, the Wisconsin Badgers failed to bring in a priority in-state recruit.
This time around, Greg Gard let Donovan Davis, a 6-foot-7 power forward, commit to Iowa State.
According to Rivals’ Joe Tipton, the Kaukauna native is one of the highest-rated players to commit to the Cyclones in the modern recruiting era.

Davis had the Badgers in his top five, but ultimately went with Iowa State over Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, and Marquette.
Somehow, the No. 2 player in Wisconsin choosing Iowa State was the best-case scenario, had Madison not been his destination. Now, the Badgers likely won’t ever have to play him unless something comes up in the NCAA Tournament.
Gard’s class of 2027 has come together quite nicely, but this would’ve been the ultimate cherry on top. Davis is a top 10 power forward in his class and is an undeniable top 40 recruit in the nation.
