Daniel Freitag, the top-flight recruit who spent one season with the Wisconsin basketball team, announced he was transferring from Buffalo to Oregon State on April 18.
Freitag, a 6-foot-2 sophomore, blossomed in a big way at Buffalo in 2025-26, averaging 19.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. His team finished 17-15 for the program’s first winning season in four years, though the Bulls went 1-3 in the final four games of the season with Freitag sidelined by a concussion.
Freitag played just 14 games at Wisconsin, making one basket, as a freshman two seasons ago. He came into the program as the 11th-ranked point guard in the class by 247Sports, from Bloomington, Minnesota.
Oregon State was left on a bit of an island after the departure of numerous Pac-12 schools, essentially rendering the conference inactive for two seasons. But the Pac-12 will be operational again next year as a nine-school conference, with legacy programs Washington State and Oregon State joined by Boise State, Colorado State, Gonzaga, San Diego State, Texas State, Utah State and Fresno State.
The program just hired coach Justin Joyner, an assistant with the national-champion Michigan Wolverines.
