In case anyone doubts this, since 2016 Wisconsin has, in total, 9 players ranked 4 * or higher. Only one of which is a 5 *. 2019 had them with 1 5* & 2 4* with only 19 total commits. This was their highest ranked recruiting season and the second highest tor]tal commits. In that time frame they have not had a 25 player recruiting class, 22 being the highest. Not sure if that’s due to lack of attrition if they hand out scholarships to walk ons, etc. considering their performance over the last several years, I’d say the whole coaching staff are overachievers.

To contrast, LSU had 11 4* and 3 5* players just in 2019. Alabama was 23 4* & 3 5* in 2019 with only 1 3*. Michigan was 14 4* & 2 5* in 2019.

I don’t care if he’s a Wisky Alum, $2-$2.5 million/year would make me pull up roots and go somewhere else

4 or 5 4 stars in this class, which will be UW's highest ranked ever. It's not full yet either. Recruiting is on the upswing, partly thanks to Leonhard.

Some walk ons do get upgraded to schollies, so that does impact how many they take, although I think they may get 25 this year. Haven't checked.

He's said he wants to build something at UW so I don't think he is going to go anywhere. Former walk on himself.
