Wisconsin set to sign its best class of the Rivals.com era
In just a few hours, pen will hit paper as national letter of intents are set to be processed across the country during college football's early signing period.
For the Wisconsin Badgers, head coach Paul Chryst and his staff are expected to bring in the highest-rated recruiting class of the Internet-era (2002). As of Tuesday morning, UW has the No. 24 class in the country, but that can certainly change this week and beyond until the late period in February. As long at the Badgers stay under No. 32, this will be the top-rated group set to arrive in Madison.
Following is a deep dive back into the rankings to look at how this heralded class stacks up.
