Bo will pay $1 for every student that attends the Thursday, Oct. 25, event at the Kohl Center. Each participant will be given a free throw and a half-court shot, with each free throw worth $10 and the half-court heave worth $1,000. Students will not only have the opportunity to fight Kaminsky impressing early he Badgers are barely two weeks into official practices, but that's been more than enough time for Bo Ryan to notice something he likes. Of the returning letterwinners, none has impressed more than sophomore center Frank Kaminsky. The Lisle, Ill., native averaged 1.8 points in 7.7 minutes a game last season, but has added numerous facets to an already promising repertoire of post moves โ€” not to mention an outside shot. "(Frank's) one of the most im- proved guys I've ever coached,'' Ryan told ESPN's Andy Katz. "He's really doing some nice things. It's going to be hard to keep him off the floor. He moves his body, he knows how to move. He has a good feel for passing as a big and he's knocking down the 3-pointer like crazy. He's a big that can stretch and in the post he's de- veloped more than last year.''
