BOR - ING!

Tell Fickell to fail in a more fun way.  Any press is good press

so, he didn't have a nice class of Oline recruits coming in this year

oh well, the Badgers get plenty of great Oline recruits

The report that Fickell is moving towards emphasizing the transfer portal, instead of high school recruiting, bothers me, particularly as it relates to the O-Line. That's a unit that should be trained up from the beginning of their college years, that starts mostly juniors and seniors...juniors and seniors who have been playing and practicing together since they got there as 18-year olds, not a bunch that is relearning their teammates every season.

Call me old fashioned, but the O-Line is probably the most important position for continuity.

The only reason he's looking so hard at the portal right now is because he completely whiffed on the 2026 class and lost a lot of commitments at the very end. Any reports otherwise are FoS.
