Former Wisconsin basketball guard Ross Candelino is taking a transfer visit to High Point this week, according to Sam Kayser.
Candelino reentered the transfer portal earlier this month after two seasons at Lipscomb. The guard previously played for the Badgers from 2022-24, appearing in five total games and recording four points and three rebounds.
Candelino most recently excelled as a redshirt junior at Lipscomb, starting 13 of 28 appearances and averaging 24.9 minutes, 11.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists. On3 currently lists the former Badger as a three-star transfer. He's specifically ranked as the No. 261 overall player in the portal and the No. 56 shooting guard.
His visit to High Point is notable, given the Panthers' recent NCAA Tournament win over the Badgers. The program is working to replace several top contributors, including leading scorer Rob Martin, who entered the portal after the 2025-26 season.
Candelino isn't the only former Badger receiving interest from High Point; the Panthers were also on Daniel Freitag's early interest list. The former top recruit recently reentered the portal following a standout sophomore season at Buffalo.
