Which dirty Big East school will swoop in at the 11th hour and sign him?
I just assume he would end up at wisky. They seem to be able to keep their top talent in state.

Or Jalen Johnson. Or Joey Hauser or Tyrese Hunter. Or most likely Patrick Baldwin Jr.They couldn't keep Tyler Herro from leaving.

It seems like Wiscy makes a killing in Minnesota and neighboring states.Or Jalen Johnson. Or Joey Hauser or Tyrese Hunter. Or most likely Patrick Baldwin Jr.
I think Wisconsin's in-state dominance is exaggerated, and they rely more on out of state recruits than people realize.
You really think so? I feel like we are set with Curbelo for the next four years. Going for combo guards or shooting guards makes a lot of sense to me.
They do seem to be more Upper Midwest than Wisconsin specifically.It seems like Wiscy makes a killing in Minnesota and neighboring states.
Agree, and although they are successful there does seem to be a movement against kids wanting to play that style. If a kid has legit nba aspirations would think our style would be far more attractive.They do seem to be more Upper Midwest than Wisconsin specifically.
They rarely have any "top talent" to start with lol
I was going to say, it's not like Wisconsin fields much "Top Talent" from anywhere.
Don't disagree, though I think player development was always more instrumental to Wisconsin's success. Just don't think you can chalk it up to recruiting their state well. Outside of Sam Dekker, in the last 10 years it looks to me like a lot of their highest rated recruits tend to be from MN, IL, MI and other Midwestern states, and they've missed on a lot of very highly rated Wisconsin prospects. Their success rate in WI is honestly probably not that different from ours in IL (which is where this original discussion started...I think)I don't want to start a debate but Wisconsin, especially under Bo, had much higher rated recruits than people gave him credit for.

Don't forget deer hunters, canoe paddlers, beaver trappers, cheese head makers, and Sasquatch trackers.I mean, you guys have been to Wisconsin, right? As far as in state talent, outside of Milwaukee you are recruiting for the top snowmobilers, beer drinkers, ice fishermen, bar fly's, fish fryers, and cow milker's. Maybe some 4 Star butter churners in there too.

Lefty Driesel, whose son coached Garza, tried to get every coach he knew to take a look. The only one who bit was the Iowa coach. Everything Garza is doing right now Driesel predicted he would do five years ago.Iowa has 8 players from the state of Iowa on their foster this year.
Anyone remember anything about the Garza recruitment? (Washington DC to Iowa) 4-5 years ago?S
I think Patrick Baldwin is from Wisconsin as wellI just assume he would end up at wisky. They seem to be able to keep their top talent in state.

the only top 50 kids from Wisconsin
I thought Bo was one of the best coaches in the country at illustrating how little recruiting rankings mean. The only evaluation that matters is how a player fits into, and can be developed, in your system. On average, the rankings are a decent indicator of success, but 'on average' means little to a coach who has to actually figure out how good a particular kid will be in his program, and help produce wins on the court. OTOH, our highest impact guys are all highly rated, so I can't really argue against the rankings.
I think an interesting indicator is how the staff prioritizes guys in the recruiting cycle. We don't have a ton of insight into that, but there's some info out there to get an idea of where they're spending their time.
What about corn holders in the local tavern.I feel like cheese curd makers has been overlooked?
I think Bo was great at evaluating players, including for fit. I could be off base here, as I don’t follow Wisconsin that closely. But it seems like his 4 star recruits generally lived up to expectations and he consistently had unheralded recruits exceed expectations.I thought Bo was one of the best coaches in the country at illustrating how little recruiting rankings mean.
