BREAKING: Wisconsin’s In-State Recruiting Continues to Slide​

On February 4th I wrote that head coach Luke Fickell was losing the state of Wisconsin. This continued last night when another top 2026 in-state recruit, offensive lineman Gavin Meier, committed to conference rival Minnesota.

While this is a down recruiting year in the state, Meier becomes the second top recruit, and offensive lineman, committed to a Big Ten program other than the Badgers. He joins Samuel Simpson, who committed to Indiana earlier this year.
Meier, recently took unofficial visits to Auburn, Wisconsin and Minnesota, before pulling the trigger late last night. Aside from these three programs, he also had offers from Indiana, Washington State, Northwestern, USF, Colorado State and others.

Currently, Meier still has official visits scheduled to Indiana (May 2), Wisconsin (May 29) and Auburn (June 7). While there is no word yet that these have been cancelled, it is likely that none of these will occur.
For Wisconsin, the recruiting malaise continues. The Badgers currently only have two 2026 commitments, both from Indiana, as they will likely not land any top in-state targets during this cycle.

I really thought his buyout would be modified from this extension, but Fickell is still owed ~40 million if they can him. He isn't going anywhere.

 

[pistachio1999]

We got a bye week heading into the game with them in October in Madison.

 

[2D_]

Wisconsin being awful at football warms my heart.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

Waiting for Jerry Seinfeld to make his very appropriate appearance……

[Madman_1]

I'm telling ya, this is all tied to Barry Alvarez.

He raised Wisconsin football from the gutter, and now that he's gone they're going right back down.

 

[Mohawkeye]

Too bad WE aren’t poaching the talent.

Too bad WE aren’t poaching the talent.

We just took a WR from their state.

We just took a WR from their state.

Don’t want to be a downer, but he did not have a Wisconsin offer.

His offer list:

• Iowa
• Northwestern
• Cornell
• Lindenwood
• North Dakota State
• Texas State
• Washington State
• Yale

Would much rather be poaching offensive linemen from Wisconsin than wide receivers.

 

[Hendy hawk]

Did Minny offer more money?

Didn't offer him because Badgers suck ballz.

Love hearing they’re sucking - so Iowa can build up another 19/20 straight win seasons like they did in the late 70’s through the mid 90’s

 

[pistachio1999]

Did Minny offer more money?

Free pizzas and free tickets.

 

[jonesy5960]

I don't know that there is any tangible benefit to having a bye week. I think Iowa might have a losing record in games coming off of bye weeks under Kirk.

I think fickell is a good coach but their schedule is brutal this year.

 

[pistachio1999]

Might have to travel to Madison this fall to Jump Around as we are kicking their ass.

 

[HawkCapt1912]

Free pizzas and free tickets.

PJ Fleck autographed boat oar.

Agreed, but not sure we have room left for any more OL in the >>2026 class<< unless someone decommits 🤔

I agree. He made better decisions when it came to coaches.

 

[hawkeyebob62]

And pics of PJ'S wife's fake rack

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

We just took a WR from their state.

A 3-star white kid.

I’m sure Wisconsin is crushed.

My sentiments precisely.

I could have writte a lenthier soliloquy than Madman1, and maybe at so me point I will, but I think you were pretty succinct and to the point.

[grayhair81]

Per Rivals, they had the 21st ranked class for 25. 10 4*s. Not one of them was from Wisconsin. 23 signees total-5 from Wisconsin. They seem to be doing OK on the recruiting front. Will that translate to results? TBD

Problem under Fickell (as with many others) is keeping and developing those guys. Like how they lost talented 4* freshman CB starter to Miami. Wisconsin hit harder than most by the portal this off season especially at wr position which isn’t good for team running air raid offense.

Omg we beat out Lindenwood?

More like a team attempting to run an air raid offense...

 

[ichawk24]

Fickell really screwed up by changing their identity. Didn't work and now they are mediocre.

Because he is newer he doesn't command the loyalty that Kirk gets from kids.

They need to improve quite a bit from last year to get to mediocre. They were 15th in the B1G and got crushed by mediocre teams.

Oh shit. Didn't psu do something similar after we beat them in 08?

I hope we put up 50 on them this year.

Well, that’s racist. 🥴

Right, they sound a little cocky.

most hated rivals

Well you can do all the push ups you want, and you may want to add some more. They have @ Alabama then Maryland at home then a bye then @Michigan then us then at home vs OSU. I really don't know what kind of team they will have but they are not the bullies any more. It is not their thing any more. We ran for almost 400 yds on them last year....not saying we will win but you might want to create some additional early season focus that goes beyond the 42 pushups.
