Rovelle is entering her 34th year as the head softball coach at her alma mater. She holds a career record of 1,178 wins to 696 losses. Athletic director Troy Dannen expressed his excitement over the extension. "We are proud at Nebraska that we just finished our most successful all-sports athletic season in 15 years," Dannen said. "That is not possible without great leadership. We are blessed with outstanding head coaches who not only win at a high level, but who also value the experience their student-athletes have during their time at Nebraska. When you have coaches with that type of character, you keep them, and we are proud that Rhonda, Justin, Paul, and Chuck will all be Huskers well into the future." In her 30+ years at Nebraska, Rovelle has also won three Big 12 Conference Tournaments (1998, 2000, 2004) and one Big Ten Tournament (2022). She also has three Coach of the Year awards.

Former Wisconsin basketball forward signs professional contract to play overseas
Former Wisconsin basketball forward Carter Gilmore has signed a contract to play professional basketball overseas. The program confirmed via social media on Monday that the five-year Badger inked a deal with the Den Helder Suns of the Netherlands' BNXT League. Advertisement The Suns have been playing at the top level of Netherlands basketball since their founding in 2016. The team most recently went 12-24 in 2024-25, finishing 15th (of 19 teams) in the league standings and failing to qualify for the playoffs. While the Suns were far from the league's best, the 12-win output tied a franchise-best. Gilmore is set to start his professional basketball career after somewhat of a breakthrough campaign with the Badgers in 2024-25. He averaged 19.1 minutes, 3.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists per contest, operating as one of the team's key bench contributors. His best showings were a 10-point, five-rebound, five-assist game against Michigan State in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals, a 10-point, three-rebound effort in a win over Indiana and, most notably, a career-best 15-point, seven-rebound game against Northwestern. Gilmore originally joined the Badgers as a preferred walk-on ahead of the 2020-21 season. He was awarded a scholarship before the 2021-22 campaign, then went on to emerge as one of the program's key contributors. Wisconsin will have to fill the void left by Gilmore's departure next season, especially after top backup forward Xavier Amos entered the transfer portal. The Badgers may still have a final move to make to bolster their depth at the position.

Iowa baseball pitcher Cade Obermueller chosen by Phillies in 2025 MLB Draft
After electing to be redrafted following a superb junior season with Iowa baseball in 2025, Hawkeyes ace pitcher Cade Obermueller has found a new city to call home when he begins his professional baseball journey. During the 2025 MLB draft Sunday night from Atlanta, GA., Obermueller was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the second round with the No. 63 overall pick. The 6-foot, 170-pound left-handed native of Iowa City, Iowa, finished this past season with a 5-3 record and a 3.02 ERA in 83 1/3 innings across 15 appearances on the mound for the Hawkeyes. He also recorded a career-high 117 strikeouts, which ranks second all-time in program history for strikeouts in a single season. While the Hawkeyes' season ended in the 2025 Big Ten Tournament semifinals, Obermueller earned a number of honors that included being named as a member of the 2025 All-Big Ten Tournament team, ABCA/Rawlings NCAA All-Midwest Region first-team, and the Perfect Game third-team All-American roster. His impressive junior season with the Hawkeyes allowed the southpaw to improve his pre-draft rankings, as he was listed No. 53 overall in MLB's Top 250 prospect rankings. Obermueller was originally drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 19th round (585th pick) of the 2024 MLB draft, but chose to forgo signing with the Rangers organization to return to Iowa. Given his positioning in the draft, the approximate pick value estimated by is listed at $1.42 million. Over his three years with the program, Obermueller has amassed an overall record of 11-7 and a 3.60 ERA in 30 starts through 165 innings of work on 43 appearances. He also has accrued 226 strikeouts and one career save. The selection is also notable for the Obermueller family as Cade's father, Wes, pitched five seasons in the major leagues after the Kansas City Royals selected him out of Iowa in the second round of the 1999 MLB draft.

Utah Jazz reveal former Wisconsin basketball star John Tonje's jersey number
Former Wisconsin basketball star John Tonje will wear #17 for the Utah Jazz throughout the 2025-26 season. Tonje, who was drafted by the Jazz with the No. 53 overall pick of the 2025 NBA draft, will be the team's first #17 in five years. Forward Ed Davis, who enjoyed a 12-year NBA career, last wore the jersey number for the franchise in 2020. Throughout his collegiate career, Tonje wore #1 with Colorado State from 2019-23, #5 with Missouri during the 2022-23 slate and #9 with Wisconsin during the 2024-25 season, the year during which the 6-foot-5 wing rose to stardom. The second-team All-America and first-team All-Big Ten team member burst onto the national scene in several high-profile contests during his final year of college, including during UW's NCAA Tournament defeat at the hands of the BYU Cougars in Denver, Colorado. Tonje dropped a game-best 37 points, the most by any Badger in an NCAA Tournament game ever. Across 37 games, the Nebraska native averaged 19.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game off 46.5% shooting from the field, 39% from 3 and 91% from the free-throw line. He dropped 41 points against No. 9 Arizona in November, 32 against No. 7 Purdue on the road in February and another 32 against the Michigan State Spartans in the 2025 Big Ten Tournament. The former Badger will now take his talents to Salt Lake City, the same area where he will begin his NBA Summer League journey. The Jazz kick-start their summer slate with a three-day circuit at the Jon M. Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, from July 5-7 before making the trek to Las Vegas the following week. There, Tonje will sport #17 against the Philadelphia 76ers, Memphis Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder a week before the Jazz square off against the New Orleans Hornets (July 11), Golden State Warriors (July 13), San Antonio Spurs (July 14) and Washington Wizards (July 16) in Las Vegas. He will look to showcase his ceiling behind guards Jaden Spring, Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton Jr. Contact/Follow @TheBadgersWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Wisconsin Badgers news, notes and opinion
