Fenderson on his commitment to Wisconsin

“I chose Wisconsin because of the commitment they showed to me. This summer, coach Gard and staff came to almost every tournament I had to watch me play. I have received numerous of calls and text from coach Gard, assistant coaches and fans. Numerous fans have expressed how important and special it would be for me to stay home and play for the home team. There wasn’t anything that Wisconsin had to prove to me. I wanted to prove to them that I was worthy of the offer that I received from them. Coach Gard sold me on the responsibility of playing for your home state and also showed me how I would fit into the new system.”
