Nelson earned a starting role at guard for the Badgers last season, starting in all 13 games. Smith is 1 of the longer-tenured players in the corner rotation, heading into his senior season. Smith also played in the majority of the games last year, appearing in 12 of them.
Lastly, Chryst spoke about how the practices will look in the coming week. Wisconsin is going to set up its top 2 units and scout teams for practice. He also stated that the practices won’t be open to the public.
