When Hayden was being recruited, no one knew that Nolan would blow up like he did. Nolan was only in eighth grade when Hayden made his first recruiting visit to Wisconsin; the offensive line coach took Nolan into his office and had a chat with him. Penn State had two higher-rated tight ends...
Zeitler is still in the NFL. He's the starting right guard for the Giants.
Tyler Biadasz is the starting center for the Cowboys.
Ryan Ramczyk is the starting right tackle for the Saints.
David Edwards is a starting guard for the Rams
Rob Havenstein is the starting right tackle for the Rams...
Nolan Rucci's brother Hayden plays for Wisconsin and that played a big role in Nolan choosing Wisconsin. It's not really that suspicious, but sure. I'm sure Paul Chryst's bagman was out there with the bag of cash for the Ruccis.
If Mahlman is good enough he'll get playing time. Forget the stars because they don't matter in college. Rucci has already said he'll probably redshirt. I wouldn't be surprised if Mahlman redshirts too. They both need to put on weight. Regardless of the stars any one of these kids would have to...
They are teenagers trying to make one of the biggest decisions of their lives. Maybe they are playing games, but that's OK because PJ Fleck and Paul Chryst make millions and can suck it up and deal with it. To me it seems dumber for a grown-ass man making millions to be giving ultimatums to a...
Clemson, of course, sits in an area that is much richer in talent than Iowa, Wisconsin or Minnesota. We are at a huge geographic disadvantage.
Laugh at Nebraska or Michigan for the state of their programs but their recruiting is much better than Wisconsin's, Iowa's or Minnesota's right now...
Have you ever been to Nebraska? They are a bunch of try-hards and desperate to be known as the nicest fanbase on earth. It's almost cultlike, like Disney with all the employees plastering on fake smiles all day.
Well? Was the kid being an asshole?
Yes, the students will curse. If Eat Shit/Fuck You offends your child's ears then I suggest you go to Nebraska (though I'd be willing to bet your 11-year-old hears worse on the school bus). I wouldn't come to Wisconsin and expect everyone to be creepily nice...
Tight end Jake Ferguson had the Axe and so did safety Eric Burrell. Neither one is going pro and neither one is a senior.
I don't know where stories like this get started. They probably let seniors do most of the chopping because it's the last chance they'll have to hold the Axe, but there's...
