Did a quick check of # of Badgers' commits through 4/14 since spring '23 since Luke Fickell's recruiting staff took over. Blue shows which players eventually left the class. '26 class started off slower but 3 recent commitments now putting Wisconsin near pace of last 2 cycles.

Working off some frustration this AM, so here’s my annual Pro Day bench.
225x21 reps. You can argue my arms could have extended more on several reps, but I’ll take it at 41.
