Wisconsin basketball transfer guard fully cleared for 2024 season

Wisconsin basketball transfer guard Camren Hunter has been fully cleared for the upcoming 2024 season, per a report from CBS insider Jon Rothstein.

Hunter, who sat out for the entire 2023-24 campaign due to a foot injury, transferred from Central Arkansas to Wisconsin in April.

When the former Atlantic Sun Conference guard plays, he makes an immediate impact. Prior to his injury, Hunter averaged 16.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.5 steals as a sophomore in 2022-23. He nailed 50 3-point field goals off a team-high 33.9 minutes per game.

A year prior, the Bryant, Arkansas native was responsible for 14.1 points, 4.9 boards, 3.4 dimes and 1.5 swipes per appearance. The output netted him 2022 ASUN Freshman of the Year honors and a spot on the 2022 First-Team All-ASUN.

With Hunter now in the mix, the Badgers have several options at point guard for their 2024 campaign.

Four-star true freshman PG Daniel Freitag looks like he could be a mainstay in Greg Gard’s rotation, but Hunter will certainly see ample playing time given his proven success at the collegiate level.

Wisconsin also added guard John Tonje and power forward Xavier Amos in the portal this offseason. While Amos will do his damage down low, Tonje will also slide into the backcourt with the departure of former fan-favorite Chucky Hepburn to Louisville.

The Badgers begin the 2024 slate with an exhibition against UW-River Falls on Oct. 30 at the Kohl Center.
