2025 Wisconsin Offseason Thread

As the world turns. Braedyn Locke enters the portal, so guarantee a new starting QB next year, and Kekahuna changes his mind, deciding to stay. Possible that Kekahuna agreed with lots of fans, that Locke wasn't the guy?

And will Locke's little brother, who just signed his LOI to Wisconsin, actually come to Madison?

Curious.

That feels a little like a mad fan created narrative.

he went in the portal when it wasn’t clear who the coordinator was going to be. The coordinator got him on the phone, made a good pitch, they offered enough money, and it was good to go (for now).

[SFBadger96]

Agreed--I think that's the more likely story. But Locke leaving is interesting, with his little brother's LOI and all.

maybe little brother is better?

"Little" brother is 3-4 " taller so maybe he could not do that "throw the ball into the DL's facemask" thing.

QB pickup in the portal: Danny O'Neil from SDSU. Comes as a true soph, with a year of starting experience.

Landed DL Corey Walker from Western Michigan and Mason Reiger from Louisville. Important pickups for the defense.

(and some others)

Wisconsin DB coach Alex Grinch took the DC job at UCF today. Opportunity knocks.

[847badgerfan]

I'd move on this ASAP.

Mike Caputo - Safeties/Special Teams - Football Coaches - University at Buffalo

Played at Wisconsin. Learned how to coach from Dave Aranda. Makes too much sense.

[SFBadger96]

Ok, bye now.

Surprising no one.

Outkick's resident Wisconsin fan columnist, David Hookstead, notes the Badger's transfer portal exodus of nearly two dozen players has not been without unusual drama:

"Wisconsin Badgers player sends wild tweet after entering the transfer portal. Badgers safety Kamo'i Latu hit the transfer portal, and is now on his way to UConn. He also made sure to stir the pot on his way out the door. First, he fired off a tweet thanking Paul Chryst and Jim Leonard - two coaches who haven't been with the program since 2022 - "for an amazing time at Wisconsin!" ...The natural conclusion is that he's taking a shot at the current coaching staff."

"...this isn't the first time something like this has happened since Fickell became the head coach in Madison: Former star running back Braelon Allen pretty much did the exact same thing back in September. Fickell needs to figure out a way to get a tent over this circus. Wisconsin fans aren't going to tolerate this garbage much longer. Many have already given up."

MSU had a transfer only thank Mel Tucker.  I mean jury is still out on Jonathan Smith, but if you are going to fire a shot, maybe back a different horse than Tugger?
