Saw that Howard is coming to UW. Who knows if all of the players Fickell is bringing in will pan out but man it is fun seeing what they are doing so far.
I think whatβs fun to see is Fickell and staff have arguably recruited and added better QBs and WRs and DBs in one offseason than this team has done collectively in the last 10-15 years.
Howard is important because of the hole created by Benton but look, there is no question this team is trending upward and again, they have a very manageable schedule in 2023. If the team can come together quickly the Badgers could be set up for a lot of success this upcoming season. All I know is I havenβt been this amped about Badgers football since the Russ Wilson season.
Chase Wolf entered the transfer portal last Tuesday. He was unhappy that Mordecai was named the starter and was told he won't be competing for the position. He probably knew he had no shot just didn't like not having a chance. He was going to stay and get a Masters degree so he might be making a mistake. I'm curious if he stayed as a 6th year player whether or not he would have been on scholarship and if that played into his decision.
Not really surprised that Wolf is hitting the portal. I sometimes wonder how much opportunity a guy like him who hasn't played much will get.
I doubt he'll get much playing time anywhere and that's why I question him leaving. If he wants to work on his masters the UW is a pretty good place to get one.
