Luke Fickell to WI

[Irish_Thunder 197]

Really nice hire for the Badgers. I wonder what Jim Leonhard decides to do? Potentially could see him bolt to take the Packers DC job which he had turned down a few cycles ago. I work with Leonhard's cousin here in WI, so always follow closely with eyes on the next ND/WI game at Lambeau. 

 

Also wonder if Graham Mertz will hit the portal, he showed a lot of promise early but has become a whipping post for their fan base more recently.

And on the other side, would some Cincy players Freeman recruited hit the portal and fit at ND? Very interesting.

Would be nice. But non-grads are tough...

That’s a fantastic hire for Wisconsin and finally getting off the Alvarez tree. Much needed change there

It's a good hire for UW and a good move to a P5 program for Fickell.  If he's successful there he will improve his chances of getting a dream job at a blue blood should they come calling down the road.
