They aren't typical Wisconsin, but they have more talent than their record.
BaB answered pretty thoroughly above, but this is just not true.
The entire 2015 class is essentially a bust - even 4* Pritzl and 3* Ivarson. Wildly inconsistent and would not be playing as much as they are had King and Trice not gone down early in the season.
2016 was Trice and Ford. Trice (low 3* out for the season) and low 3* Ford is just OK. He's getting better.
2017 brought us 4* Davison, 4* Reuvers and 3* Kobe King (out of season).
Happ was the only 2014 recruit - a 3* kid with offers from UW-Milwaukee and UW-Green Bay.
Bo found one there, but man, did he whiff the following year. Pritzl and Ivarson have a
chance to get better for next year, but I'm not holding out much hope.
Davison is a good player. He's also playing with one arm and has all season.
UW needs a really good grad transfer.
