Wisconsin Badgers recruiting talk and big picture thoughts on Luke Fickell and the timeline. Brian Smith joins the show to talk about why he thought this year's Badgers team wouldn't click right away and why thats OK. He talks about other coaches that struggled in their first years at a new program and why Luke Fickell and Phil Longo will have this program humming in a couple years.

We also talk recruiting and discuss big time 2024 Badgers commit Grant Stec and why he's the type of player modern offensive coordinators love. We talk about how he's added speed and why he's such a good fit for modern offense.

We also discuss Ryan Ghea the 2025 4* tight end out of Alpharetta, GA. Why he's very similar to Grant Stec and how can the two players play together. We talk about why he's the type of recruit the Badgers need to close out occasionally.
