Wisconsin guard out on leave of absence

The likely candidate for starting guard, Boo Wade, is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the Badgers this year. The announcement was made this week by coach Bo Ryan. The reason? Apparently Wade needs to work out some personal issues before he will be ready to focus his attention on basketball. He was suspended for 2 games last season for supposedly choking his girlfriend at her apartment, and was charged with disorderly conduct. In a recent statement, Wade seemed pleased with his potential time away from the court, and chance to sort out his personal life.
