Welcome to the unofficial online tavern of the Wisconsin Badgers. Please seat yourself.
It seems like Luke Fickell is bringing in a new prep commitment every day, and there’s likely still more to come for the Wisconsin Badgers much-praised 2027 class, which currently sits at No. 13 nationally in the 247 Sports rankings. But as we head toward mid-June, this is a great time to take stock of how this class […]
The Wisconsin Badgers picked up a commitment from three-star safety James “Trey” Roberson on Tuesday, marking their 22nd commit in the 2027 class. Roberson is also the third safety that Wisconsin has landed in the cycle, wrapping up quite the class for safeties coach Jack Cooper. The Badgers have looked for multiple safety classes in […]
The Wisconsin Badgers had been doing some major damage in the 2027 class, but one position that remained a big goal was safety. The Badgers had already landed three-star Dustin Roach and three-star DJ Davis earlier in the spring, but they wanted a third player to fill out the room and add to a loaded […]
The Wisconsin Badgers have been adding quite a bit to their 2027 recruiting class, and that continued on Monday evening when in-state offensive lineman Jack Tabbert flipped his commitment from North Dakota State to Wisconsin. Tabbert, a 6’5, 270-pound interior offensive lineman, hails from Pewaukee, where he earned all-conference honors as a junior. He committed […]
The Wisconsin Badgers have had quite the last few weeks with their 2027 recruiting class, getting off to a strong start during official visits. The foundation of the class had been built in the months prior, as Wisconsin entered last week with 13 commits. Nine of those had been from within the state, as the […]
The Wisconsin Badgers just keep hitting in June. Following yet another strong weekend of official visits, the Badgers are now sitting all the way at No. 13 overall in the nation with their 2027 recruiting class. Hailing 20 commits, Wisconsin has made some serious ground over the last two weeks, landing priority targets at an […]
After landing three-star edge rusher/defensive lineman Yahzeen Zion on Saturday, the Wisconsin Badgers got another key commitment at the position on Sunday, as three-star Darin Graham committed to the program. Graham, a native of Illinois, stands 6’5, 220 pounds, and hails from Mount Carmel, which is where the Badgers got running back Darrion Dupree from […]
The Wisconsin Badgers had another huge weekend of official visits, and perhaps the biggest target in attendance was three-star wide receiver Steele Harris. Well, on Sunday morning, Harris made it official and committed to the Badgers after his visit, giving Wisconsin their second wideout in the 2027 class after four-star Jai Jones committed last weekend. […]
The Wisconsin Badgers won yet another big recruiting battle on Saturday, as they landed a commitment from three-star defensive lineman Yahzeen Zion, he announced. Wisconsin beat out the likes of LSU, Oklahoma, and Mississippi State for Zion, who wasn’t a guarantee to commit to the Badgers heading into the weekend. But Wisconsin closed once again […]
After quite the first weekend of official visits, the Wisconsin Badgers are set to host another quality contingent of recruits this weekend in Madison, as they look to round out their 2027 class. So far, the Badgers stand at 17 commits in the class after landing four of their six uncommitted visitors this past weekend. […]
The Wisconsin Badgers got a huge commitment from four-star in-state guard Jalen Brown on Friday, marking their first commit in the Class of 2027. Brown, who attends Wauwatosa West in Milwaukee, is a top-70 overall recruit in the class and Wisconsin’s highest-rated guard commit of all time in the rankings era. But the Badgers aren’t […]
The Wisconsin Badgers football program has been racking up all the spotlight with a strong start to official visits. But their basketball program picked up a huge commitment on Friday, landing four-star in-state guard Jalen Brown after recruiting him for nearly the past year. Brown, who attends Wauwatosa West in Milwaukee, has been one of […]
The Wisconsin Badgers won one of their biggest recruiting battles in recent memory when four-star Florida defensive back Mekhi Williams committed to the program on Wednesday afternoon. Williams, a 6’2, 165-pound cornerback, was deciding between Wisconsin, LSU, and Nebraska, with the Tigers also pushing hard for the four-star down the stretch. Ultimately, following a strong […]
Four star Florida defensive back Mekhi Williams just gave the Wisconsin Badgers a verbal commitment (over finalists LSU and Nebraska) and I believe that this is the biggest moment so far for Wisconsin in an already impressive 2027 cycle that has brought in top players like Badger State lads Korz Loken and Cole Reiter. In fact, Williams […]
The Wisconsin Badgers won one of their biggest recruiting battles of the 2027 cycle on Wednesday, as they got a commitment from four-star defensive back Mekhi Williams, he announced. Williams, a native of Florida, had been on a visit to Madison this past weekend and accelerated his timeline for a commitment to Wednesday. He had […]
The Wisconsin Badgers have been on a recruiting tear in the 2027 class, jumping up to 16 commits after three-star cornerback Royalton Allen committed to the program on Tuesday. With one of the strongest in-state classes in recent history, the Badgers fully capitalized, securing eight of the top 10 recruits in the state. That included […]
The Wisconsin Badgers have had a strong first weekend of official visits, landing three of their six visitors so far, thanks to commitments from four-star wide receiver Jai Jones, three-star linebacker Nathan Jones, and three-star cornerback Royalton Allen. Of the other targets, the Badgers seemed to have made a strong impression on three-star wideout Tavares […]
The Wisconsin Badgers have seen quite a few of their pass rushers have success in the NFL, and their latest hit was Pittsburgh Steelers star Nick Herbig, who has developed into a force off the edge. Herbig, 24, had his best season as a pro in 2025, recording 7.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, and 30 […]
The Wisconsin Badgers had quite the offseason, as they dealt with some major departures and had to retool in the transfer portal. Losing John Blackwell, Nick Boyd, Aleksas Bieliauskas, Andrew Rohde, and Braeden Carrington, the Badgers needed to fill a couple of holes in their starting lineup, while also adding a bit to their bench. […]
The Wisconsin Badgers have landed a commitment from three-star defensive back Royalton Allen, he announced on Tuesday. Allen, a native of California, was on a visit to Madison this weekend as a part of Wisconsin’s first group of priority targets. He had been trending towards the Badgers, with multiple reporters placing a crystal ball prediction […]
Heading into the weekend, the Wisconsin Badgers were hoping to make some noise during official visits with their top 2027 class targets, as they hosted 19 recruits for a visit. 13 of those players were already committed, while the other six were priority players for Wisconsin. Of the six, there were a couple trending towards […]
For an athletic department that finished a robust 12th in the latest Learfield Cup standings, one would think the public perception of the Wisconsin Badgers would be a bit better, even after losing their Athletic Director. But a languishing Football program has acted as a massive drag on the rest, and wildly distorts just how good the […]
The Wisconsin Badgers double-dipped with commitments on Sunday, landing three-star linebacker Nathan Jones after nabbing four-star wide receiver Jai Jones earlier in the day. Nathan Jones, also a native of Arizona, played at Desert Edge this year, and saw his recruitment really take a step forward this spring. He landed offers from Baylor, Florida State, […]
After a few weeks of movement and uncertainty, the Wisconsin Badgers have found their next general manager, and it’ll come from the NFL ranks, as several colleges have looked to do in recent years. The Badgers are hiring longtime NFL executive Morocco Brown as their next general manager, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported on Sunday morning. […]
The Wisconsin Badgers have been picking up some major steam on the recruiting trail this weekend during official visits, and they picked up their first commitment of the weekend, as four-star wide receiver/athlete Jai Jones committed to the program on Sunday morning. Jones, a native of Arizona, wasn’t seen as a lock for the Badgers […]
