Former Gophers guard Braeden Carrington is now a Badger.

[BleedGopher]

Go Gophers!!

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

WTF?

 

[Spaulding!No!]

[minnyrules11]

Has to be 9 or 10 down the rotation?

Has to be 9 or 10 down the rotation?

I’m hoping he’s their starting Non-SG

 

[Just Gopher It!!]

Go East young man!!

 

[Gilthorp57]

Secretly moved to Lakeville

Almost sounds like a topic for a Gopher Hole poll!

 

[atsgopher]

He’s not a former Gopher to me anymore.

F that guy.

Take it to the badgers site.

Or the St Thomas site

 

[Eastside Forever]

Good luck young man!

 

[howeda7]

Eew. Have fun learning the clutch, grab and trip.

 

[Zeppelin Gopher]

Traitorous scum.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Thank god.

This kid is a mental midget. He quit on his team in the middle of the year because he was pouting and pretending to have a mental health issue while publicly yucking it up. He stunk at Tulsa and is a 6'4" guard who can't create his own shot and shoots in the mid 30s.

He's essentially Antonio Brown without the personality, talent, or jump shot.

 

[BBJones]

Hopefully, he helps them as much as he helped us.

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Badgers found their replacement for Tonje……

 

[Spottedmuskie]

Very odd, they have room for JOJ or is he going to sign with Michigan State?

 

[DinkytownDelight]

He's got to be a walk-on, right? This guy is not a scholarship P4 player

 

[Roland Brooks]

Or Summit

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

He didn’t like his playing time/shots with the Gophers…..does he think he’s gonna get more from the Badgers?? This is gonna end badly for him…..

 

[DarthGopher]

Wisconsin must have run low on NIL money and hit the clearance rack.

 

[WAGopher]

I heard he’s already in nut punch training!

 

[Gophers1992]

Glad to see his made up mental health problems have resolved themselves.

He does a pretty good job filling up the stat sheet (averaged 7.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 steals and .7 blocks per 40 minutes). He just can’t shoot. Pretty important for a shooting guard.

It looks like he lost his starting job at Tulsa halfway thru the season then got it back for the last 3 games. He shot 4/9 from 3PT his final game and scored 18 points.

Kind of surprising to me the Badgers would want him. Maybe they think they can fix his shot. He will get booed something fierce if/when the Badgers come to town, can he handle that?

My guess is they took a flier on him for his defense. I always have a hard time judging that in individual players, but he apparently has a decent reputation on that end. Wisconsin does value D as much or more than O, which is why a guy like Essegian lost his spot in the rotation in the year before he transferred to Nebraska. It’ll be interesting to see how much PT Carrington gets.

He was a pretty good defender here. I would anticipate little playing time for him, though.

It's like shopping for Easter candy a month after

Carrington did a marvelous job on Tominaga 2 years ago. He’s a solid defensive player.
