Wisconsin guard Chucky Hepburn is headed to the transfer portal after starting 103 games over three seasons with the Badgers, 247Sports reported Thursday. The 6-foot-2 floor general is a defensive menace and two-time All-Big Ten honorable mention honoree with one season of eligibility remaining.
His departure marks the latest blow for Wisconsin, which also lost leading scorer AJ Storr to the portal after the Badgers wrapped up a 22-14 season with a loss to No. 12 seed James Madison in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Storr committed to Kansas on Thursday.
Hepburn was a mainstay on the floor for the Badgers over the past three seasons, logging 31 or more minutes per game since he stepped foot on campus as a four-star prospect in the Class of 2021. His scoring average dipped from 12.2 points per game in 2022-23 to 9.2 this past season as he reduced his shooting diet in deference to Storr. Hepburn averaged 2.1 steals per contest, earning a spot on the Big Ten All-Defensive Team.
With the spring portal window closing on May 1, those wishing to transfer are running short on time to declare their intentions. But so long as players have entered the portal by that date, they face no firm deadline on when they must commit to their new school. Those who are exploring the NBA Draft process have through May 29 to withdraw if they want to return to college next season.
When players hit the portal, the best will be ranked here.
