Jesse Temple, The Athletic's sage of Wisconsin athletics, joins Mitch and Ari in discussing Luke Fickell's and Wisconsin's future, which is inextricably tied to its recruiting class, including the program's top-15 transfer portal ranking. Are Fickell and new OC Phil Longo changing Wisconsin altogether or building upon existing traits? How will QB Tanner Mordecai and future Badgers signal-callers benefit from Longo's scheme? Jesse and the guys also talk through whether Fickell will attract more top-end talent at the skill positions, and if the recruitment focus is more national than it has been in years passed?
