Will the transfer portal be the answer for the Badgers going forward?
The Wisconsin Badgers were one of the busiest teams in the transfer portal this offseason, bringing in 21 transfers and landing a top-15 class in the country, according to 247Sports.
Wisconsin had a large overhaul, looking to improve at certain positions while replacing players who left in the transfer portal. They also brought in players who better fit their new defensive scheme, getting bigger up front, while also bringing in help at wide receiver and tight end on the offensive side of the ball.
When being hired as the head coach at Wisconsin, Luke Fickell emphasized his desire to work primarily through high school recruiting, pointing out a 350-mile radius that he’d like to target.
