[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 983747, member: 17953"] You're correct. Based on the star system, the Badgers did not do well. But that's not really the case here. We're going into a new season, with a completely revamped offense, and have the RBs in house, who will fit right in. There's help coming in the QB area, and our WRs are going to be getting more action than they have in the past. They showed glimmers of skills this past year, but were hampered by either, or both, bad QB play and scheming. They should look pretty good in 2023. The key is that they improved the QB position immensely. On defense, we lost who was arguably the #1 DC in the nation. What did we get? The guy rated #6. Additional gains. We now have a coaching staff that will reach out in recruiting, to all areas of the US. That's shown by the guys coming in from Arizona, Texas, Ohio, Florida, Georgia, and several other states. It's difficult recruiting in those states, and they have hooks in. What's missing in the star rating system is the word "fit." A 3 star player plugged into a system that they fit can become the best they can be, and that could actually be the equivalent of a 5 star athlete, under the right circumstances. We see that with Badger TEs, LBs, and RBs, all the time. Nearly as often is the OL. These guys are all over in the NFL. The culture in Madison had to change. They were stagnant, and they were recruiting low lying fruit, within an 8 hour drive of Madison, and got lucky once in a while outside that area. Nothing was invested in spreading out. The fact that we were called RB U made it easy to get guys who could run the football. Now we're going to get them that can run the ball, others who can catch it, and even guys who can throw the darned thing in anger. We're going to see them develop more along the lines of what we see from the OSU offense, which has always driven the Badgers defenses crazy, no how good they are. Excitement coming from change. It's going to be an interesting ride. [/QUOTE]
