One amazing figure that i did see. Wisconsin has won the Big Ten title twice now. Yet from 2008 until now, they have never had a recruiting class that ranked better than 30th in the nation. Definitely makes you think, its not how high the talent you bring in is ranked, but what you do with that talent.
