I'm getting sick and tired of posting these threads in November.
So, we're stuck with Fickell apparently. Biggest booster likes him and the AD. For a rich guy, he's pretty dumb.

You started last year's in December.

No shit. 2 days in.

Losing 4* players is not ideal.
-
Looks like there are going to be a lot of big losses to the portal, and we're seeing 4* decommitments too.
Why keep the M'Fer?
Why trust him to rebuild the trainwreck he helped to create?

Helped create!?!
He should have been gone after Maryland. As I've said before, I'll wait until another major development before I invest in being a Badger football fan. For now, I'm just angry at what McIntosh and Fickell have done to this program.

Yes, the downfall started under Chryst, by a) not having a recruiting staff for a whole year and b) hiring a bunch of coaches who had no prior experience at the position they were hired for.
-
It's also on Macintosh - he started as AD in 2021.
-
D2 GVSU transfer DT Jibriel Conde committed to Wisconsin on 11/29.
He flipped to Kansas last night.
Kansas.

they all know ickel won't make it through the 26 season
-
He didn't get that clue 2 days ago?
Probably wouldn't have gained admission.
-
I'm fascinated by what goes through the heads of these recruits. Probably better not to read too much into it--but I'm worried about how teams can recruit against Wisconsin. It's a struggle to find the obvious upside case for choosing that program right now.
-
$ is all they can offer, I guess, and Madison? Great education (do they even care anymore)?
Can't point toward obvious development. Can't point toward wins. Can't point toward coaching stability.
-
The culture in Madison is the best selling point. That's not nothing. But it's not everything, either.
-
Just lost a highly rated edge "commit" to Iowa.
Awesome.
-
Great education (do they even care anymore)?
did they ever care?
not most football players - yes, a handful
