Wisconsin football recruiting: what is going to happen with the in-state class of 2022?

When Barry Alvarez arrived in Madison to be the head football coach of the Wisconsin Badgers for the 1990 season he set in motion a lot of important practices that turned a program which had occasionally been good over the previous 100 years into one that has been consistently good for the past 30.

Arguably the most important idea that Alvarez had was building a metaphorical fence around the state of Wisconsin to keep all of the best high school talent home and playing for the Badgers. Wisconsin, and all of the upper Midwest for that matter, has not been a region that has been recruited particularly hard outside of the schools that are already here.
