I’m very interested to see what sort of ripple effect the addition of the 10th coaching position has.I think UW's is already on the staff (QC/QB helper Jon Budmayr).
Ted has been solid in all his stops. Solid at UNL paired with Shawn Watson
If people didn't know the WR coach before last night, they do now. Ted Gilmore has done amazing things in Madison with his group. Time to pay him.
heard on the telecast that 10 Seniors/RS Jr starters on that defense. 5 have eligibility to come back as 5th yr srs and 5 graduate.Well, Nelson is gone, so there's that already.
Who you think leaves of the 5 RS Jr? Could be looking at replacing 10 defensive starters if all 5 leave. Same boat M was in going into 2017.
Yep, Minnie and UNL are the headliners.that's rough, dude
By the way, when is the last time you were able to say the "UW WR corps should be beastly"?I did a look back on this. It's tricky because UW is of course more 3-wide than it's even been, so few could boast the depth. We've had a run of 1-good WR teams or no great WR teams.
Time for King Barry to hit up the regents to pay Ted Gilmore.
Spring Ball has started in Madison, with 15 practices spaced out over the next 6 weeks.I didn't know you could spread spring practice out over 6-weeks.
Lots of players out for this one:

It's odd, I felt like last year's Wisconsin got more hype at this time of year, but I think this year's team is better. Maybe it's that the schedule was more favorable last year, and now they have trips to Iowa City, Ann Arbor, Evanston and Happy Valley?I think it’s PSU on the schedule. Last year it was take care of BYU and the division and 11-1.
So, let's see... 2020: A game against Notre Dame in Lambeau and now a game against NU in Wiggly Field.I am not a big fan of games during the regular season outside the college's own stadium, especially when it happens to be a baseball stadium, and the field dimensions are such that the you can only drive the football one direction because part of the end zone consists of a brick wall.

Despite his 4* OL status, I've been a proponent of this move.A friend of mine likes to say, once a recruit moves positions, that’s often the first sign it’s over. Granted, Wisconsin seems to do it with walk-ons a lot.
I've read elsewhere (a generally reliable poster) that RS freshman Kayden Lyles has been moved from OL to DL. If true, I like it. Depth is solid on the OL but the DL needs help with two of its projected starters on the shelf. Probably won't know if this move is for certain until the fall camp roster comes out, so we'll see. The kid is a beast, regardless of where he plays.
A friend of mine likes to say, once a recruit moves positions, that’s often the first sign it’s over. Granted, Wisconsin seems to do it with walk-ons a lot.I'd say like 80% of the time that's true
The end issue is interesting, as UW can get away with playing one against More than a few opponents.
Two Watts moved positions? Maybe three?All the Watts were TE's. Heh.
All the Watts were TE's. Heh.If only UW could’ve found a few good tight ends in that stretch...
I wish Michigan could get Bryan Mone's size to play like Sagapolu's. That would be nuts for us.Yeah, that would be a crazy line.
Is it really hype when a unit returns 3 all-Americans and 1 freshman all-American?After taking a look at last year’s numbers, I’d say yes.
Serious question. I'd call it respect, not hype.
I'm not a numbers guy (in this stuff..) so I just watch and judge. UW has a great OL going into this season, and when the NFL grabs 4 of them next Spring, it will be on the coaches to make another one. I trust them.I should clarify slightly. The numbers I used are what I call semi-advanced. They're pretty easy to get, but a bit more than the usual. This is what they are:
Sounds like Cephus is having some sort of legal situationhttps://twitter.com/QoDeep_87/status/1030960966874406912?s=19
Rittenburg and the ESecPN hit crew keeps on rolling.This makes literally no sense.
I'm no attorney, but if I were and this kid was my client, my first line of advice would be to stay off social media. Jeez.While I agree he should remove himself moving forward, I thought his initial statement was well put together and came across well.
Yeah, I guess, but why put out a defense even prior to any charges being filed?I took it as an explanation of absence from the team, while taking pride in his name. I definitely get your point, but I asked myself how I would react in his shoes and if you’re truly innocent, wouldn’t you want to take pride in defending yourself? He came across firm yet humble, which played well.
I really hope it's not true, but if it is (whatever it is), he's got to be gone.

While I agree he should remove himself moving forward, I thought his initial statement was well put together and came across well.Same. Control the narrative, get out in front of it, but in a professional manner. I'd go dark now, but I think what he did was smart.
I'm really not used to having to read (or post) about this shit with the program I love.100 kids on the roster year after year, sooner or later someone is gonna do something stupid
Pretty stark report of the events of the evening. I'm more puzzled now as to why he decided to tweet out anything .Well, yeah.
100 kids on the roster year after year, sooner or later someone is gonna do something stupidUW has been immune for a long, long time. This sucks.

I'm guessing he wasn't in the apartment when that stuff went down, nor in the bar that let an underage kid inside, nor waiting in the car when he got out.Last I recall was Kraig Appleton in 2010. I think Maurice Moore flipped a car while drunk driving the year before.
Can't keep on eye on everything. If this were a common thing, I'd call it a culture problem. I think this is the first incident for criminal charges against a UW football player since 2007.
no Troy Fumagali, now no Cephus, and possibly no Danny Davis? Alex Hornibrook probably looking towards a regression. He has his good moments where you go where the F did that come from- but honestly he's just not that good. Kind of the Joe Flacco of CFB. He was carried by pretty good TE/WR talent, strong OL and run game and a strong defense. With a top flight QB like they had years ago with Russell Wilson- last years Wisconsin team is playing for a title IMO. Wisconsin is replacing 7 starters on D and if he's losing 3 of his top 4 receiving targets- just don't see Hornibrook getting any better.You understand you're talking about Wisconsin, right? Coaching, development, (mostly) good kids?
What was it that Appleton did again?The running rumor was robbing a drug dealer with two teammates. Obviously drug dealers can’t press charges, but it was enough of a think he got an indefinite suspension that became leaving the team.

Obviously drug dealers can’t press charges, but it was enough of a think he got an indefinite suspension that became leaving the team.What in the hell is the world coming to when contraband peddlers can't even safely ply their trade - Armageddon is upon us
Danny Davis suspended for the first two gamesGood. Hopefully by then the DA has a resolution by then too, because if he did what has been purported, he needs to go away as well. Due process will tell us that.
You understand you're talking about Wisconsin, right? Coaching, development, (mostly) good kids?Yeah, Wisconsin will be fine. Never said they wouldn't be. Schedule is manageable and the west is pretty weak.
UW will be fine. As I mentioned upthread, nobody knew about the WR corps last year, outside of Fums. Hell, nobody gave a second thought to running back either. Mistake...
The defense? Yeah. Lots of losses, like every year. But,
Jim Leonhard.
The season is upon us and the name of the threads are changing by taking the "off" out of offseason.Kind of surprising how quickly WKU has fallen off, after previously surviving regular coaching turnover.
I'm thinking we don't need a thread for the Western Kentucky tilt coming Friday, so I'm not starting one. UW should roll.
As for the depth, it's looking pretty good across all areas right now - including the WR position.
Kind of surprising how quickly WKU has fallen off, after previously surviving regular coaching turnover.I felt that way too, and then looked at the records. The previous teams might not've had that far to fall. They went from bad under Taggart to OK (7 wins) to 8 under Petreno. Then Brohm maintained and improved a ton, but there was of course now a long way down to 6-6ish

(I also got convinced to host something that night at my apartment, and I don't know how to say, I just want to put on sweatpants and not leave the couch)

For context: Which ones are returning or predicted starters?I mentioned the DL - Loudermilk and Rand. Loudermilk should be back when the B1G games start.
Was not impressed by Friday night's win. Could be Chryst didn't want to show anything and was content to control the game, which was nearly a foregone conclusion. Still, I thought the play was merely average all the way around.Me neither. Vanilla at best.
Then I saw the scores from other games around the conference and I was happy to have a convincing win.
Hope to see improvement next week, even against New Mexico.
I would not have scheduled that offense without a fight. Not a fun one to face.I don't understand what you're post is referenced to.
New Mexico runs, or at least used to run, a triple option that often plays three backs behind the QB. It’s as exotic an offense as there is.Spread option now.
Not that it’s great, but it’s a pain to prep for. Two years ago went for 350 rushing yards a game. Even last year, when bad, they hit 5.2 per carry.
Spread option now.They’ll go two- and three-back triple out of the fun.
Cosgrove's defense allowed 550+ yards to Incarnate Word last week. I didn't know Incarnate Word was a college, let alone on that had a football team.
it's almost a good thing that Cosgrove came along with Billy C.His career has been weird. He built some good defenses in Madison, then stayed long enough to build bad ones. Been a mess since.
sealed Billy C.'s fate at Nebraska
if Callahan had picked a decent to above average D-coordinator, he may have stayed longer in Lincoln
They’ll go two- and three-back triple out of the fun.What concerns me more is the cut blocking. I just prayed MSU got out of the Air Force game healthy a couple years ago. And they went over the top with it, drew multiple chop block penalties.
Not that the NM defense won’t get trampled. But no one wants to play a team that’s gonna option you that much.
The refs have been calling it on the edges and downfield.Old man Ferentz weighed in on that.
This just in: Wisconsin @ Iowa Sept. 22, 7:30 p.m. start time.(https://www.cfb51.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nydailynews.com%2Fresizer%2FjA_MHLsPevJGBfaBYvRgQ-82pyw%3D%2F1400x0%2Farc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tronc.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2F5FH62HUDQ2DQ4L6KQOGINA4CYU.jpg&hash=816967654a6f4b3d489c26fff80d9620)
Extended tailgating with Iowa and Badger fans will no doubt fill the Johnson County Jail to overflowing. Don't let it be you. Pace yourselves.
(1) What's with the OR between Dietzen and Van Lanen?1. Respect for Deitzen, who has played through every injury he possibly could during his time in Madison. Everyone knows Van Lanen is better. Deitzen will be a starting guard next season.
(2) Until the Badgers find a kid named Cheesecurd, I'm not gonna believe there's a more Wisconsin name than Loudermilk

I'd like to think BYU is better than last year, but beating Arizona only means they beat Kevin Sumlin...Maybe both?
At least we can put to bed this stuff about the offensive line.Too early to think that way. UW was not prepared yesterday, and that's on the coaching staff.
No one should be, of course, but perhaps they are more a second ten team than top ten.
I'm not ready to write off UW by any stretch.
No need. Unless you make another comment, we've already had the full conversation. But try not to be too agitated that it showed up here. Given the employer of the woman who gave the original quote, the first comment belonged in this thread.I'm not annoyed, but this has got absolutely nothing to do with the 2018 Wisconsin football team. The stream would have been a better place, perhaps.
I think it can be fixed. From my view, many of the sacks are not on the OL but rather the QB holding the ball too long and the RB's missing their blocks. Those are fixable things. Most the OL seem to grade out very well, including this guy.Right tackle needs to start playing a bit better. Edge blocking was BAD in spots vs BYU.

Damn. TE Zander Neuville is now out for the year. Injured a knee in practice. So that's that.Assuming he played in 5 games, I would think he'd be done. It was always fairly arbitrary, but I think that the games limit kills it pretty concretely. The arbitrariness in the past was when a guy had two seasons that were under the threshold, and the first was clearly a planned redshirt year, but later claimed to be injury based.
He is a redshirt senior, so maybe his only option would be to apply for a medical redshirt if he chooses to continue to play football. Not sure how those work these days but I know it seemed arbitrary in the past. Not sure if he's even eligible. I guess I'll look it up.
new 4-game redshirt rule applies I would thinkHe redshirted as a freshman, so that's out.
He redshirted as a freshman, so that's out.Unless they can argue he was injured, which is why he did. MSU had that work with Ed Davis, who didn't injure himself during his redshirt year until like November.
Unless they can argue he was injured, which is why he did. MSU had that work with Ed Davis, who didn't injure himself during his redshirt year until like November.I think it's possible that MSU has had more luck with getting 6th years than is normal. Not claiming impropriety. Just noting that it may be a bad predictor of success elsewhere.
