The 2020 recruiting class, which is now up to 17 commitments, is a big opportunity for the Wisconsin coaching staff. The talent level inside the state is high - over 50 prospects currently have a Division 1 offer - and the Badgers are riding the momentum of a strong 2019 recruiting cycle.
Just 11 scholarship seniors are projected to graduate at the end of 2019, but there's a chance both Tyler Biadasz and Jonathan Taylor declare early for the NFL Draft. With that, the Badgers will be looking to add around 18 to 20 signees in this recruiting cycle.
Below is the 10th look at what the perfect class for Wisconsin could look like. A perfect class doesn't necessarily mean landing all the top players UW has offered. It is more realistic than that - it fills needs and gives fans the stars they so desperately want. This is the best case scenario with players the Badgers have a legitimate chance with.
Quarterback (0)
After missing on its top three targets - Max Johnson (LSU), Tyler Van Dyke (Miami) and Parker McQuarrie (UCLA) - Wisconsin is not expected to take a scholarship quarterback in this cycle. The last time that happened was 2011 when then-head coach Bret Bielema landed Joel Stave, a multi-year starter, as a preferred walk-on.
Running back (1)
Right now, there at least three prospects to watch at tailback moving forward: 1) Kevontre Bradford, who visited officially in June and is coming off a trip to Ohio State in October; 2) Jo'Quavious Marks, a Mississippi State commit who was in town officially last month; 3) Jalen Berger, who visited officially for Wisconsin's win over Iowa. This is the last big position of need remaining in 2020, and the Badgers appear set on taking a scholarship tailback in this cycle.
