Talent Tracker: Could Wisconsin's slow start under Luke Fickell kickstart youth movement?

Plus, two Alabama stars bucking the reclassification trend, love for UCF running back RJ Harvey and in search of the next Cam Ward.

i sure didn't get any warm and fuzzy feelings about fickell from that article. ruhle has done a lot better job in the same amount of time. and when you compare fickell's record after 17 games to previous badgers coaches, i'm even less impressed.

Though does Nebraska have a better NIL fund? WI seems kind of pathetic and really can't spend on anyone good.
 
Reading comments lot of people think the guy does not have the money to do this and it's just talk.

I think he's referencing his ability to raise that much money from donors, but not certain.
 
Almost respectable first half against the Trojans. The second half was a total disaster. The defense spent way too much time on the field. By the 4th quarter, they were wore down completely.

The run game didn't work. The passing game started like it was something special, then spiraled down to nothing before it was over. Wisconsin's ran for 106 yards. That's considered a minimal day for one ball carrier for the Badgers. Not anymore.

USC continuously played 8 in the box. They did not respect Locke and his passing ability. I understand why. As much talent as he potentially seems to have, he just doesn't measure up to the level of a starting QB in a Big 10 uniform. Based on past performance, his passing game hasn't improved enough since day one, to consider him any future in Madison. They might be wise to start looking to next year. Explore the portal in advance. Get someone on the hook as early as possible. They don't seem to believe too much in Mettauer at this point, because they've kind of stashed him away, not letting him even think about playing.

I keep telling myself I have to be patient. I'm trying.
 
Things could be worse. The Badgers could be FSU who was pre-season #10 and are now 1-4 are getting destroyed by SMU.

Mettauer is just raw.....UW has talent issues at QB...WR...and LB. All 3 of those positions are a glaring need. Our DL depth also needs to be addressed and our OL continues to struggle in pass pro.

A lot of folks are still naive that PC and his staff including Jimmy were sleeping on the job recruiting the last 3 years but that's the root of the issues along with the fact that 60% of the kids we have don't fit the system we are playing on both sides.

As of last night, the mouthy alumni are out talking smack again, it was their loyalty to PC and Big Daddy got us in this mess. Fick isn't getting fired in year 2, I expect him to change staff which is a mistake because we need the talent influx they will bring more than appeasing the loudmouth old-school guard.\

PS WTH was Barry thinking about scheduling Alabama ?

I think if any coaching staff should be made it's Tressell this defense is just awful and don't know if he's the guy to be rebuilding it.
