The Sweet 16 ranking is based on a combination of three factors: position need, interest in Wisconsin and talent level.
Note: All quotes used in this report are from the Rivals.com network.
No. 16: Running back Chad Gasper
Offers: Arizona State, Houston, Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oregon and Wisconsin, among others
Previous Rank: N/A
The Word: Chad Gasper, who visited Wisconsin this summer, is back on campus this weekend. The four-star prospect from Texas has not taken many trips during his recruiting process, so two stops to UW could be a good sign for the Badgers.
No. 15: Cornerback Cree Thomas
Offers: Arizona, Arizona State, Boston College, California, Notre Dame, Oregon, Purdue and Wisconsin, among others
Previous Rank: N/A
The Word: Cree Thomas, a three-star prospect from Arizona, took his first unofficial visit to Wisconsin earlier this month. It's early, but Wisconsin, Arizona and Notre Dame are three schools to watch in his recruitment moving forward.
