Hunter Sallis, a former five-star recruit and a 6-foot-5 guard, entered the transfer portal Friday after two seasons with Gonzaga. Sallis is from Omaha, Nebraska, and has a relationship with Badgers’ point guard Chucky Hepburn.

Coming out of Millard North High School, Sallis was the 21st-ranked prospect in the nation for the class of 2021. He never really clicked with Mark Few and the Zags in his two seasons with the program, averaging 4.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists during the 2022-2023 campaign.

Although he’ll be hitting the open market and anyone can secure his commitment, Greg Gard and the Badgers remain a long shot to acquire him regardless of his friendship with Hepburn.

Fans can dream.
