1. Ikechukwu Obiagu, Center, Florida State

At 7-foot-1, Ikechukwu “Ike” Obiagu brings the most potential for an immediate impact of anyone on this list. While his offense has a ways to go, his defense and shot-blocking are already top notch.

Last season at Florida State, he averaged 2.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in only 10.7 minutes per game. Of course, his foul rate was sky-high, but that’s the type of inside defensive presence that would make an elite replacement for Happ since he wouldn’t be eligible to play for Wisconsin until 2019.

The former four-star prospect could be a great way for the Badgers to jumpstart their recruiting and get a prospect they’ve never really had.

At the end of the day, these are all the types of prospects Wisconsin has typically shied away from. Meaning, the chances they end up in Wisconsin are very slim. However, we can always have fun and take a look at who’s out there, especially since it’s very rare Wisconsin has a scholarship open this late in the recruiting season.
