This is how you get transfers like him:Sorry if this has been said already, but I couldn't find it with a quick search. Any info on MiKyle McIntosh? Did we even reach out to him or was that just a rumor when he first said his intention to not come back to Illinois State?
Dean Oliver has a track record of developing guards – both at North Dakota and Illinois State. Paris Lee was the Missouri Valley Conference player of the year and the league’s defensive player of the year last season.
"I am extremely honored and excited to be joining the men's basketball staff at the University of Wisconsin," Oliver said in a statement. "It is truly a dream to coach at such a prestigious, storied Big Ten program. I can't wait to get to work with the young nucleus of players as well as the exciting incoming recruits. I am equally as excited to work with and learn from Coach Gard and staff."
UW is positioned to take a graduate transfer and Illinois State forward MiKyle McIntosh could be in the mix.
McIntosh, 6-foot-7 and 235 pounds, averaged 12.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists as a junior last season.
