By all accounts Evers looks "better" "more confident/comfortable" than last year, but what does actually that mean?

He's getting reps, with the 2's but is he actually competing with TVD & Kirk Cousins Lite (Locke)?

Its just hard to figure out what is skill/talent vs. politics. Locke "competing" likely sits a lot better with Little Locke (Class of '25) than if he was getting the Evers treatment.
People in one breath say Evers is the most physically talented QB on the team, yet he doesn't seem to be competing for real snaps & all anyone hears is that he's looking better.

Is there an actual gap between the top 2 and Evers that can be seen on the field?

Big picture is the hope/plan that WI can remain competitive until Mabrey can fill the position long term?

As close as Purdue was to winning a national championship this year, in my opinion, they weren't all that close. UConn dimissed Purdue, Illinios, and Northwestern without much of a fuss. The B10 National Championship drought continues.

There are three areas, I think the Big Ten needs to take a long look at if they want to end the drought.

1. Scheme: By enlarge The Big Ten continues to play through monster bigs. No team has won a NCAA Championship with a monster big and playing through them posting up.
2. Roster Management: The Big Ten continues to prioritize skill and strength over athleticism and length. Because that fits the scheme and you need that size/skill to win games in the Big Ten.
3. Recruiting: In the NIL era we should be able to land the best of the best. Our TV financial resources are vastly superior to other basketball conferences. So why does the conference continue to lose recruits to Big East, Big 12, SEC, and ACC schools?

All of these things are interconnected. Scheme impacts roster make management, Scheme impacts Recruiting, Recruiting impacts scheme and roster management, etc. Are there other considerations?

My overall opinion is: If the Big Ten put more money and focus into basketball and a little less on football, we could be the most dominant college conference again.

While I'm most interested in Wisconsin. I think about this at the conference level. I'm interested in your thoughts.

How do we break the streak?

Didn't realize he was the architect behind UCONN's offense. I'm not saying it would happen, but Bill Murray at Badger games could be fun if Luke was the Badgers coach one day.

Good OL prospect to track

There have been all these reports of all these transfers hitting the portal (with a few commitments). Is late cycle movement, such as the Cal move, mean the transfer market truly doesn’t get moving till after the basketball season ends? Just seems like there hasn’t been much out there the last few weeks.
