IF we can figure out how to use CE. IF we can continue to dominate the glass. IF we can shore up our D. Can CE actually play decent D for 15 minutes a game? Can Winter give us quality minutes this year? Can Crowl continue to give us double doubles? Is Blackwell the real deal (hint..yes). I think that our bench is one of the strongest in the Big 10. How far can we go? I'm not a predictor, so I'm going to refrain. What are your thoughts?

Do the Bears draft a franchise quarterback or stick with Fields?

On seeing the value and potential of McGee....goodness he was absolutely LOST last year and we all thought...WTH? But this year, he's handled his role extremely well and he's been coached up a bunch...and kudos to him, he's made massive improvements!

Hey Jon, I heard there were 5 Transfer Portal visits this weekend. Is that accurate? And, how did they go?

If reports are true.

First one -

I am not reporting this is a done deal. Rather, this is the name I’ve heard in a few different conversations with people I trust. There’s a connection to Fickell and it certainly makes sense. Again, not reporting it’s happening - just the name I continue to hear.

Is tomorrow with 2 future Badgers playing -

Hearing that Mordecai is penciled in to start this week. Obviously a long way to go this week, but that's the plan from a good source. Also mentioned some tension between Longo and Fickell. Losing to Indiana will do that to ya.

looks like our Perko? I keep seeing that video and thinking...is that Perko?

With Nolan Rucci transferring it raises a question on just how impactful was the highly graded 2021 recruiting class. Barry stated he hoped to get 1/3 of the class to be impactful (staters as a minimum , hopefully high end), 1/3 role players and 1/3 no impact. So how did this class pan on to date?

Impactful: B. Allen, Wohlers, Mahlman, Halman, Peterson

Role Players: Ackers, Bell, Chaney

No Impact: Benzschawel, Pugh and remaining class.

Busts: Rucci, M. Allen, Bollers,


Seems that this class failed to meet expectations despite some impactful players from this 22 player class.
