The Wisconsin basketball walk-on took to social media to make his future plans clear
Madison, WI – With a consequential decision by Jack Janicki looming, the Wisconsin basketball backcourt was getting thinner by the hour this week. Departures by guards have come from every typical reason you can think of.
This year, Max Klesmit, John Tonje, and Kamari McGee exhausted their NCAA eligibility. Those three veterans combined for over 44% of the Badgers’ scoring this season.
After the seniors’ departures, John Blackwell is slated for a huge step forward. While he may return to UW, he declared for the NBA Draft after leading Wisconsin with 31.2 minutes per game.
After a redshirt year, Janicki broke out for the Badgers this season. In his Big Ten conference play debut, he only played five minutes against the Michigan Wolverines. However, by the end of the regular season, Janicki had earned his keep. The guard earned double-digit minutes in UW’s final seven regular season contests.
Janicki captioned an Instagram post, “Grass is greener where you water it,” alongside an image of himself in a Wisconsin basketball uniform overlayed with text reading “I’m back.”
