John Blackwell has no hard feelings towards Wisconsin. That doesn’t ease the blow of losing a guy who Greg Gard and his staff developed from a freshman who had no other high-major offers to a guy with All-American upside in his senior year, but that’s just how it goes in this day and age. Before officially shutting the door on …
