disappointing. some kids want to leave home no matter what, but I honestly never really saw the appeal of lincoln or nebraska (unless you're an option QB).

Wrong year to have a small class, with all of the in state talent this year. That said, James and Obasih become pretty important at the DE spots now. Sounds like Bret and crew have their work cut out for both, however. Need to get that fence back up!

Who was that DE from Oak Creek that Barry lost to Miami in about 02?

Yeah, the one I can't remember.....who wound up doing nothing.

Anyway, other than that kid, have we lost another D player who has done real well at another school?

Whatever it takes as long as we keep winning Rose Bowls, right?

I think we get both. It sounds like James is torn between MSU & UW, but MSU fans think he'll pick UW. Obasih maybe between Iowa & UW, though it sounds like he's looking for some other offers, like Mich and ND. I think/hope he picks UW in the end.

I thought Natter was the top DE prospect. He has the most/best offers, but I wonder if Obasih might be better. I think he'll be more explosive. Of course, you really can't compare the two. Natter would be a SDE, while Obasih is likely a WDE.

There was a starting OT for Michigan that we didn't land. that's considered doing pretty well, right?

D player = Defensive player.

Obv there has been several O players. I just can't think of a D player we lost in-state to another school that amounted to much in, say, last 10 years.

I think Natter is more ready to play right away and more of a sure thing. I think that Obasih has the highest ceiling out of all of them. And I think that James is the best athlete out of the three.

Not sure how heavily Wisconsin recruited him but Kimberly's A.J. Klein was the Big 12's co-defensive player of the year in 2011 as a junior. He's a LB for Iowa State.

I don't think Klein ever got a UW offer.

Blissfully Disinterested

This is disappointing news, but I'm not sure it should be a big surprise. I don't follow recruiting religiously, but even I knew this upcoming class was going to be very small. I've read many places the talent in WI this year is as good and deep as it's been. When you add those two things up, it means UW wasn't going to come close to keeping 'em all in state, thus some kids are going to choose to play somewhere else because they can and they don't want to miss a chance at a free ride to a BCS school.

It's bitter considering our history of essentially taking every top notch talent every year. We have to trust BB & Co know what they're doing and have faith in their ability to evaluate the talent and target the right kids. Besides, we've seen that kids who commit out of state often change their minds before it's all said and done.

Let's see how things shake out come February 2013 before we wet the bed.

I think his name was Stennovich (?). John Navarre (sp?) also did well at QB for Michigan. We recruited him as a tight end. We haven't lost a lot of kids that mattered since Barry's arrival.

I didn't know where Milton was. I looked it upon Google Maps. Can someone explain to me what in the world those 2 round-a-bouts on E County Trunk M / 59 are for? They are kind of on the southeast part of town. They seem to be going nowhere.

Bummer on Natter to NE.

Rhyan Anderson.

And Stenovich was All-Big Ten his last two years. So yeah, I think he mattered. They lost Waynes(Kenosha Bradford) last year to MSU and Brooks(Milw Riverside) to Miami-OH a few years ago.(Both were offered) I don't see Waynes doing much, but Brooks was a very good player for the Redhawks, and is projected to go in rounds 2-3 in this year's draft.

He would have been a RT (Joe Thomas). I don't know that he was appreciably better than Morgan Davis. So he might have only started one year (the year Urbik started at RT as a RS frosh).

Not great when 2 of the top 4 prospects in the state choose other Big Ten schools. Defensive line is also an area we need to improve, as anyone watching our defense last season could see.

Then again, recruiting isn't something I worry about as much as they do at other schools. UW has an incredible record of finding/developing the talent it needs to win without playing the star ratings game.

As always, this post is written with the express proviso that I am not a chicken little. The sky is not falling. My office window does not have a ledge. I'm happy we won. I heard some ranked teams even lost. I'm glad we are not Virginia Tech. I like our coach. I know these are 19 year old kids. The season is young. Mistakes will get cleaned up. Fowler said even Alabama threw an interception once. The other guys are on scholarship, too. After living through the Don morton era, I'm just glad to be here.
