Wisconsin Badger basketball's Xavier Amos joins Sports Chat With Matt for an interview. Xavier had an abundance of teams recruiting him in the transfer portal, but he chose to join Greg Gard and the Wisconsin Badgers. Xavier tells us why he chose Wisconsin, what he will bring to the table, and discuss how he is a late-bloomer who is STILL GROWING height-wise, and to me that means he is only scratching the surface of his potential.
Landing Amos is a massive recruiting victory for Gard. Xavier is a highly versatile and athletic 6'9" forward with an extremely high ceiling.
